BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., Greenman, J., & McCollum, P. Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication represents a minor ischaemia reperfusion episode. Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen during such episodes is a concern to many vascular surgeons because of the theoretical risk of generating excess free radicals. We a...
