Carbon monoxide
Abstract: Carbon monoxide poisoning may be either accidental or deliberate. The principles of treatment are rapid removal from source and treatment with oxygen at high flow rates. The precise role of hyperbaric oxygen in treatment remains controversial. Myocardial ischaemia, and permanent brain injury are potential outcomes. The relationship between exposures not causing unconsciousness and chronic effects is much more controversial. (Source: Medicine)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for Bell's palsy.
CONCLUSIONS: Very low quality evidence from one trial suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be an effective treatment for moderate to severe Bell's palsy, but this study was excluded as the outcome assessor was not blinded to treatment allocation. Further randomised controlled trials are needed. PMID: 22336830 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Hyperbaric oxygen helps a variety of chronic radiation injuries
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is associated with high response rates among patients with various types of soft tissue radionecrosis, show results of an 8-year review of patients treated at a regional referral center for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. (Source: MedWire News - Oncology)

Hyberbaric oxygen increases atresia in normal & steroid induced PCO rat ovaries
Conclusions: HBOT of six weeks itself, changed ovarian morphology in favor of atresia both in PCO group and control group. This result of aggravated follicular atresia after HBOT on EV induced PCO may be due to long-term exposure in our protocol which with this state seems to be inapplicable in the improvement of PCO morphology.

Present and new techniques and devices in the treatment of DFU: a critical review of evidence
In conclusion, when the results of this updated review are taken together with those of the earlier reports, they provide limited evidence to justify a change in routine clinical practice. For this reason, there is an urgent need to increase the quality of clinical studies. A re‐evaluation of which type of research is acceptable for producing evidence in the wound area may be important in the future. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
SummaryHyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) could be described as a short‐term, high‐dose oxygen inhalation and diffusion therapy, delivered systemically through airways and blood, achieved by having the patient breathing concentrated oxygen at a pressure higher than 1 absolute atmosphere. In clinical practice, monoplace or multiplace hyperbaric chambers are used to achieve this. Treatment is usually given as daily 90‐ to 120‐min‐long HBO sessions at pressures between 2.0 and 2.5 absolute atmosphere, aiming for 30–40 treatment sessions.The use of HBO as treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has been founded on weak scientific ground, although the outcomes from previous studies are in concert with the conclusions from preclinical studies and supports the theoretical framework of HBO reve...
