Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated the frequency and nature of complications during hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy in 678 patients undergoing 4219 procedures.

What They Found

Complications were observed in 17.9% of patients. These included issues with the Eustachian tube and middle ear (7.2%), recurrence of chronic diseases or postoperative conditions (8.1%), and effects of elevated oxygen pressure (2.6%), with 15.3% being functional in nature.

What This Means for Canadian Patients

Canadian patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygenation therapy should be aware of potential complications. Proactive measures, including differentiated therapy before, during, and between sessions, may help prevent these adverse events.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

The study's observational design and age may limit the generalizability of its findings.
