What Researchers Did
Researchers investigated how hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the drug benzonal affected lipid peroxidation and antioxidant systems in patients with acute peritonitis after surgery.
What They Found
They observed that hyperbaric oxygenation had an insignificant effect on the studied parameters related to lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense. In contrast, treatment with benzonal led to a complete correction of these disturbances in patients with acute general peritonitis.
