Hyperbaric oxygenation as an adjunct therapy in strokes due to thrombosis. A review of 122 patients.

HBO is used as adjunctive treatment and three appears to be justification for a controlled study to delineate the treatment further. The authors believe it is essential to treat patients with stroke at 1.5 to 2 atmospheres absolute (ATA).
