What Researchers Did
Researchers reviewed the basic mechanisms by which hyperbaric oxygen inhibits neutrophil-endothelial interactions following ischaemia/reperfusion injury.
What They Found
The review found that hyperbaric oxygen reduces ischaemia/reperfusion injury in various experimental models and in one human randomised clinical trial. A key mechanism identified is the suppression of neutrophil-endothelial adhesion.
