Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers presented a case report of an 11-year-old child with high voltage electrical injury treated with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

What They Found

The child received 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) at 2.4 ATA for 90 minutes, initially twice daily for one week, then once daily for six days. Despite late initiation, HBO therapy was effective in combating necrosis, infection, and tissue loss in the 11-year-old patient.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a case report from Turkey.

Study Limitations

The primary limitation is that this is a single case report, which limits the generalizability of its findings to a broader patient population.
