title: [Hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of patients with acute purulent-destructive lung and pleural diseases].
abstract: In experiments in rabbits the authors have elaborated safe (in relation to a barotrauma of the lungs) regimens of the pressure changes taking place while performing HBO. In the treatment of 127 patients with acute suppurations of the lungs and pleura it was established that a short course of HBO (4-5 sessions) in the regimens used was safe and clinically effective. The method is recommended for the treatment of patients with spreaded injuries of the pulmonary tissue developing with a pronounced endogenous intoxication.
