Management of central retinal artery occlusion following successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy: case report.
Conclusion: Recovery of vision during initial HBO₂ treatment indicated that this patient's retina had not yet suffered irreversible ischemic damage at that point in time. CRAO patients with a good result from initial HBO₂ treatment should be admitted to a stroke center and should have their visual status monitored hourly. Should vision loss recur, aggressive use of intermittent 100% normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen is indicated to preserve retinal function until central retinal artery recanalization occurs. An evidence-based management plan for such patients is presented. PMID: 29571239 [PubMed - in process]
