Seizure during hyperbaric oxygen therapy: experience at a single academic hospital in Korea

CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a similar frequency rate in terms of all indications and CO poisoning, and a slightly higher rate in AGE. Seizures were observed in patients with CO poisoning and AGE. Therefore, if clinicians plan to operate a hyperbaric center in a country like Korea, where there are several patients with acute CO poisoning, they should be prepared to handle seizures that may occur during HBO2 therapy.PMID:33648032
