Emerging Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment: Registry Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) treatment is used across a range of medical specialties for a variety of applications, particularly where hypoxia and inflammation are important contributors. Because of its hypoxia-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects HBO₂ may be useful for new indications not currently approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. Identifying these new applications for HBO₂ is difficult because individual centers may only treat a few cases and not track the outcomes consistently. The web-based International Multicenter Registry for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy captures prospective outcome data for patients treated with HBO₂ therapy. These data can then be used to identify new potential applications for HBO<
