Article Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a rapidly developing treatment modality in various fields of dentistry. It is the administration of 100% oxygen to the patient for a specified time period, to increase the oxygen tension in the tissues and also its dissolution in the blood. This review aims to briefly discuss the history, mode of action, indications, contraindications, complications and the applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in dentistry.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the outcomes of patients with chronic refractory osteomyelitis (CRO) when combined with modern antibiotics with modern delivery methods and/or surgical treatments.

Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective review on 58 patients with CRO from a single institution who underwent HBO therapy along with standard treatment between January 2009 and December 2019. To investigate associations with binary outcomes of interest, they estimated logistic regression models.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive method of O2 delivery that induces systemic hyperoxia. Hyperbaric chamber consists of a pressure vessel and a compressed breathing gas supply, which can regulate internal pressure. The chamber delivers 100% O2 to patients according to predetermined protocols and is monitored by trained personnel.

Background: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is an efficacious intervention for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDOC). Electroencephalographic (EEG) microstate analysis can provide an assessment of the global state of the brain. Currently, the misdiagnosis rate of consciousness-level assessments in patients with pDOC is high.

Hyperbaric oxygen has been used to treat many diseases. However, there are few reports on hyperbaric oxygen treatment for paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity at home and abroad, and the clinical experience is very limited. To understand the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity after brain injury, this retrospective study was conducted in the adult intensive care units of five medical centers in central China.

Medical gases were primarily used for respiratory therapy and anesthesia, which showed promising potential in the cancer therapy. Several physiological and pathological processes were affected by the key gases, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide. Oxygen targets shrinking the tumor via hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and once combined with radiation therapy it enhances its effect.
