Hyperbaric oxygen in crush syndrome

Hyperbaric oxygen in crush syndrome

Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen can increase tissue oxygen tensions to values higher than those achieved by any other method. 100% Oxygen at 304 kPa (3 atmospheres absolute) can produce arterial oxygen tensions of up to about 250 kPa) by direct solution in plasma. 2 The resultant diffusion gradient...

Zusammenfassung:Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen can increase tissue oxygen tensions to values higher than those achieved by any other method. 100% Oxygen at 304 kPa (3 atmospheres absolute) can produce arterial oxygen tensions of up to about 250 kPa) by direct solution in plasma. 2 The resultant diffusion gradient into tissues is also clearly increased.
