Brain Injuries and HBO

  • Chapter
Handbook on Hyperbaric Medicine

Abstract

The question of the interest of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in cases of brain diseases has no answer at this time. To revise this subject, we shall successively consider:

  • The pathophysiology of brain injury

  • The rationale of HBO

  • The results of experimental works

  • The recent data in humans
