What Researchers Did
Researchers treated three infants with acute peripheral arterial occlusion and progressive ischaemic lesions using repeated hyperbaric oxygenation treatments.
What They Found
All three infants experienced regression of the demarcation line of their dark red discoloration. The progression of necrosis in their fingers and toes was successfully stopped.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was not conducted in Canada nor involved Canadian researchers or patients.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation of this study is its very small sample size of only three infants, which limits the generalizability of the findings.
