Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers first developed safe hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) pressure settings in rabbits, then tested these settings on 127 patients with severe lung and chest infections.

What They Found

The study found that a short course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, consisting of 4-5 sessions, was both safe and clinically effective for 127 patients suffering from acute lung and chest infections. The specific pressure regimens developed in animal experiments were successfully applied to human patients without causing lung barotrauma.

Study Limitations
