Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for osteoradionecrosis.
Authors: Cooper PD, Smart DR Abstract Dr Sames and colleagues are to be commended on their thought-provoking article about regional variation in hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) provision for oro-facial osteoradionecrosis (ORN) across Australia and New Zealand. The four-fold difference between jurisdictions requires further elucidation. As co-directors of the only comprehensive hyperbaric facility in Tasmania, the state with the highest ORN treatment rate, we believe a number of issues pertaining to the Australian situation warrant further consideration. 1. Disease prevalence Comparisons between regions require c...

Seizures during hyperbaric oxygen therapy: retrospective analysis of 62,614 treatment sessions.
CONCLUSIONS: Seizures induced by oxygen toxicity during HBO₂ therapy are extremely rare. Moreover, in relation to oxygen-induced seizures, HBO₂therapy can be considered safe for patients suffering with chronic neurological disorders except for uncontrolled epilepsy.

The cardiac effects of hyperbaric oxygen at 243 kPa using inchamber echocardiography.
CONCLUSIONS: TTE can be safely performed within a hyperbaric chamber. Cardiac physiology is not adversely affected by HBO in individuals without active cardiac disease. PMID: 25311320 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Clinical results in brain injury trials using HBO2 therapy: Another perspective.
Abstract The current debate surrounding the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for neurological indications, specifically mild to moderate chronic traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-concussion syndrome (PCS), is mired in confusion due to the use of non-validated controls and an unfamiliarity by many practitioners of HBO2 therapy with the experimental literature. In the past 40 years, the use of an air sham (21% oxygen, 1.14-1.5 atmospheres absolute/atm abs) in clinical and animal studies, instead of observational or crossover controls, has led to false acceptance of the null hypothesis (declaring no effect when o...

A prospective trial of hyperbaric oxygen for chronic sequelae after brain injury (HYBOBI).
CONCLUSIONS: Conducting an HBO2 clinical trial in this population was feasible. Although many participants reported improvement, the lack of concurrent controls limits the strength of inferences from this trial, especially considering lack of change in standardized testing. The clinical relevance of neuroimaging changes is unknown. The findings of this study may indicate a need for caution when considering the broad application of HBO2 more than one year after brain injury due to stroke, severe TBI and anoxia, until there is more compelling evidence from carefully designed sham-controlled, blinded clinical trials. PMI...

Top-cited articles on hyperbaric oxygen therapy published from 2000 to 2010.
CONCLUSION: HBO2T has been a field of increasing scientific publications in the past 10 years. The focus of research fields were stroke, radiation injury, carbon monoxide and wounds. The United States maintains an important influence on HBO2T studies. PMID: 23342766 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
