Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for poststroke insomnia: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Introduction
Insomnia stands as a frequent consequence of a cerebrovascular event, afflicting a substantial fraction of those who endure the aftermath of stroke. The ramifications of insomnia following a stroke can further exacerbate cognitive and behavioural anomalies while hindering the process of neurological convalescence. While several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have scrutinised the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on poststroke insomnia, the advantages and drawbacks persist in a state of ambiguity. We advocate for a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials to comprehensive...

Contemporary national outcomes of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in necrotizing soft tissue infections
by William Toppen, Nam Yong Cho, Sohail Sareh, Anders Kjellberg, Anthony Medak, Peyman Benharash, Peter Lindholm
BackgroundThe role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) is mainly based on small retrospective studies. A previous study using the 1998 –2009 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) found HBOT to be associated with decreased mortality in NSTI. Given the argument of advancements in critical care, we aimed to investigate the continued role of HBOT in NSTI. MethodsThe 2012 –2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for NSTI admissions who received surgery. 60,481 patie...

Use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in severe earthquake injuries
CONCLUSION: This study evaluated the possible effects of HBOT on patients with severe earthquake injuries in Türkiye, and the results showed that HBOT may have a beneficial effect on critical factors such as sensory recovery, functional recovery, and amputation rates in this particular group of patients, and that this benefit may be more pronounced in those who started treatment early.PMID:38506387 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.60979 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of carbon monoxide-induced delayed neurological sequelae: a case report and review of the literature
DISCUSSION: Delayed neurological sequelae is a well-described complication of CO poisoning. In this case, the patient's debilitating neurocognitive symptoms resolved following HBOT. Existing literature on treatment of CO-induced DNS with HBOT consists mainly of small-scale studies and case reports, many of which similarly suggest that HBOT is effective in treating this complication. However, a large, randomised trial is required to adequately determine the effectiveness of HBOT in the treatment of CO-induced DNS, and an optimal treatment protocol.PMID:38507912 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.65-68 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

Secondary deterioration in a patient with cerebral and coronary arterial gas embolism after brief symptom resolution: a case report

The first deep rebreather dive using hydrogen: case report
Diving Hyperb Med. 2024 Mar 31;54(1):69-72. doi: 10.28920/dhm54.1.65-68.ABSTRACTBounce diving with rapid descents to very deep depths may provoke the high-pressure neurological syndrome (HPNS). The strategy of including small fractions of nitrogen in the respired gas to produce an anti-HPNS narcotic effect increases the gas density which may exceed recommended guidelines. In 2020 the 'Wetmules' dive team explored the Pearse Resurgence cave (New Zealand) to 245 m breathing trimix (approximately 4% oxygen, 91% helium and 5% nitrogen). Despite the presence of nitrogen, one diver experienced HPNS tremors beyond 200 m. The use ...
