[Therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygenation in lesions of the spinal cord].

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a pressure chamber with an oxygen pressure of up to 2.8 absolute atmospheres administered to patients with various lesions of the spinal cord (trauma sequelae, discogenic ischemic myelopathy, states after tumor removal, etc.,) was frequently followed by a more or less pronounced regression of the existent neurological symptomatology. Pelvic and motor functions as well as sensitivity and reflexes returned to normal and the pain syndromes were alleviated. The therapeutic response to HBO is directly dependent on the role played by reversible functional lesions of the spinal cord in the general picture of the disease.

[Therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygenation in ischemic strokes].

Hyperbaric oxygenation is a valuable adjunct to the complex of measures devised to treat patients with ischemic cerebral strokes, including those who have undergone surgical operations on the extracranial portion of the cerebral major vessels. Although the best therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygenation is observed in the acute period of a stroke, its employment may be useful in many patients in the residual period of the stroke as well. The therapeutic action of hyperbaric oxygenation may be due to not only a certain recovery of the function of the damaged neural centres but also to the mobilization of various mechanisms of the CNS compensatory recovery.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the complex treatment of patients with aneurysms of the cerebral vessels].

Experience in the use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in 56 neurosurgical patients with cerebral vascular aneurysms, mainly in the postoperative period, testifies to the expediency of including this method in the complex of therapeutic measures for these patients. The deep oxygenation of the body tissues, the brain included, produced by HBO makes it possible to prevent in many cases the development of severe and stable neurological defects in the postoperative period and contributes to the normalizaion of vitally important functions. Th therapeutic efficacy of the method is more marked when it is applied sufficiently early (before poorly reparable secondary disorders occur in the organism).
