Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers described the case of a 47-year-old male who developed delayed post-hypoxic encephalopathy after inhaling liquefied petroleum gas and was treated with hyperbaric oxygen.

What They Found

A 47-year-old male initially recovered after 6 hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) sessions for hypoxic encephalopathy, but developed delayed symptoms 15 days later. After 24 additional HBOT sessions, his neurological status significantly improved, with only hypoesthesia in his left hand remaining.
