What Researchers Did
Researchers reported on two cases where hyperbaric oxygen therapy was used to treat complications following orthotopic liver transplantation.
What They Found
Both patients, one with hepatic artery thrombosis and the other with primary graft dysfunction, experienced rapid clinical recovery. This recovery was observed soon after commencing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, with a gradual reduction of liver and canalicular enzymes.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was not conducted in Canada, nor did it involve Canadian researchers or patients.
Study Limitations
