Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied 92 patients with severe head injuries to see if hyperbaric oxygen therapy was safe to use alongside other treatments.

What They Found

In a study of 92 patients, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was found to be permissible after removing intracranial hematomas, even with occasional seizures, if there was no history of epilepsy. HBOT did not worsen or restart bleeding in traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage or after surgery for hematomas and brain contusions. It also did not affect cerebrospinal fluid leakage, cause air in the skull, or lead to infections.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.
