What Researchers Did
Researchers retrospectively reviewed a single center's experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a rescue treatment for spinal cord ischaemia following complex aortic repair between January 2013 and June 2021.
What They Found
The provided abstract was truncated and did not include the study's results, therefore specific findings regarding the efficacy of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for spinal cord ischaemia post-complex aortic repair cannot be reported.
Canadian Relevance
The study was conducted at a single center outside of Canada, therefore it has no direct Canadian connection.
Study Limitations
As a retrospective, single-center review, this study is inherently limited by potential selection bias and the inability to establish causality.
