Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers compared the outcomes of 60 crush syndrome patients treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) to 50 similar patients who did not receive HBO.

What They Found

The 60 patients receiving hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) showed advantages over the 50 control patients, including reduced tissue hypoxia and improved renal function. HBO also lessened toxemia, accelerated reparative processes, and alleviated anaemia and myoglobinemia, with less marked positive dynamics observed in the control group.
