Hyperbaric Oxygen has long been used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression illness and accidents in hospitals involving renal dialysis, cardiac catheterization and open heart surgery. This text explains the latest insights regarding these applications, as well as the use of HBO in limb salvage and severe meningeal and intra-abdominal sepsis. The book also examines in depth, with the help of 1500 references, the growing scientific literature on HBO applications to stroke, vegetative coma, CNS dysfunction and multiple sclerosis. While certain aspects of the approach remain controversial, some 3000 chambers are now in use worldwide, and this number is increasing sharply. This second edition has not only involved a complete revision and updating of the topics in the first edition: the range of subjects has been expanded and the number of contibuting authors has been increased.
