Clinical Observation of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Craniocerebral Trauma

Abstract

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To review and analyze the clinical effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma, and to provide reference for the treatment of craniocerebral trauma. <strong>Method: </strong>From January 2009 to April 2014, we treated 287 cases of patients with craniocerebral trauma, on the basis of conventional treatment, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and assessment for therapeutic effect. <strong>Results</strong><strong>: </strong>After hyperbaric oxygen therapy, patients with GCS score and GOS levels were significantly improved, compared with before treatment, the difference was statistically significant (<em>p</em> < 0.05); effect of the treatment of patients with 2−3 courses of treatment was better than patients receive more than 3 courses of treatment (<em>p</em> < 0.05). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma can effectively improve patient’s symptoms and signs, there are helpful in the recovery of the body function of patients. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment should be carry out as soon as possible with appropriate extending the duration of treatment, as well as reduce the severe disability, death and sequela.</p>
