Abstract
To observe the effect of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the improvement of consciousness and prognosis of patients with severe brain damages after craniocerebral craniotomy. Eighty-one patients who had cerebral hemorrhage and underwent clearance of hematoma and decompressive craniectomy from August 2013 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into HBO and non-HBO therapy groups. The treatment effects were scored and subjected to corresponding statistical analysis. There were significant differences in the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores at 3 and 5 weeks (t=2.293 and t=3.014, respectively, p < 0.05), and in Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores at 5 weeks and 3 months between the two groups (p < 0.05). Early HBO therapy could improve the consciousness and prognosis of patients with cerebral hemorrhage after craniotomy.
