Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers described a personal method of hyperbaric treatment and reported its results in 50 patients with post-bronchitic emphysema, evaluating various organ functions.

What They Found

In 50 patients, hyperbaric treatment was found to quickly and effectively resolve alterations in haematosis and organic sequelae from respiratory insufficiency. When combined with other therapies, it was also capable of stopping or delaying the development of post-bronchitic emphysema.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

The study's limitations include a small sample size of 50 patients and the absence of a control group for comparison.
