What Researchers Did
Researchers monitored the brain's bioelectrical activity using EEG during hyperbaric oxygenation therapy in 182 neurological intensive care patients over 395 sessions.
What They Found
Across 395 hyperbaric oxygenation sessions involving 182 neurological patients, four distinct types of electroencephalographic reactions were identified. Analysis of these EEG patterns revealed their functional significance, aiding in more objective determination of indications for this treatment.
Canadian Relevance
