Efficacy of searching in biomedical databases beyond MEDLINE in identifying randomised controlled trials on hyperbaric oxygen treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Systematic reviews of RCTs in HBOT should always utilise multiple databases, which at minimum include MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and CINAHL.PMID:38507904 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.2-8 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

Equipoise: an important ethical consideration when contemplating participation in a randomised controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in necrotising soft tissue infections
This article systematically addresses the concept of clinical equipoise specific to the role of HBOT in NSTI, and presents a series of considerations to be taken into account by key stakeholders at potential participating sites.PMID:38507910 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.57-60 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

Reported outcome measures in necrotising soft tissue infections: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: There was wide variance in outcome measures in NSTI studies, further highlighting the need for a COS.PMID:38507909 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.47-56 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

Secondary deterioration in a patient with cerebral and coronary arterial gas embolism after brief symptom resolution: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: AGE can secondarily deteriorate after symptoms have subsided. We recommend that HBOT be performed promptly once severe symptoms appear, even if they resolve spontaneously.PMID:38507911 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.61-64 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

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)

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 ...

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)
