Hyperbaric oxygenation in treatment of peripheral vascular disorders.
The authors discuss the reaction of central and peripheral hemodynamics to HBO and therapeutic effect of superoxygenation on ischemic tissues. HBO not only improves the metabolism in the ischemic areas but also activates microcirculation in such areas with a reduced blood flow. The experience of the largest Soviet HBO center covers more than 3,000 cases of peripheral vascular disorders.
