Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers examined respiration, central hemodynamics, and blood gas balance during hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) sessions in 30 patients in the acute period of severe craniocerebral injury.

What They Found

Among the 30 patients, those with a favorable outcome (15 patients) showed decreased minute respiratory and blood volumes with stable or improved blood gas balance during HBO. In contrast, patients with a lethal outcome (15 patients) exhibited increased minute respiratory volume and worsened acid-alkaline and gas balance, reflecting disturbed oxygen reactivity.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A limitation of this study is its small sample size of 30 patients, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
