[Hyperbaric oxygenation in acute compression-dislocation syndrome (experimental-morphological study)].

Acute compression dislocation syndrome was reproduced in rabbits by means of epidural brain compression with a balloon. After elimination of brain compression the main group were treated by HBO whereas the control group did not receive HBO. The use of HBO resulted in a decrease of the lethality in hyperextension manifestations. Using the total water measurement in the brain the main group was discovered to have a decrease of brain edema at different times, associated with compression and eliminated compression thereof. Microscopy revealed a reduction of pericellular, perivascular and subependymal edema as well as of edema of vascular plexus and venous brain plethora under the influence of HBO.

Acute Disease

[Effects of hyperbaric oxygenation in acute compression-dislocation syndrome in experimental animals].

A model of the acute compression dislocation syndrome of grave degree was designed by means of local compression of the parietotemporal area of rabbit brain. A study was made of the effect produced by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on the syndrome after compression elimination. HBO has been noted to decrease the lethality, primarily among animals with the gravest manifestations of the syndrome, to bring about frequent and more full-value recovery of the survived animals, and an insignificant lowering of brain edema.

Acute Disease

[The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the course and outcome of acute dislocation syndrome in uncorrected and corrected experimental compression of the brain].

Acute compression-dislocation syndrome of a severe degree was reproduced in rabbits by dosed compression of the brain with an epidurally situated balloon. Animals of the main group were treated by HBO in persisting compression of the brain (series I) and after its correction (series II). Animals of the control group were not treated. HBO had no influence on mortality in series I, a tendency towards reduction of the animals's survival period under the effect of hyperoxia was noted. In series II HBO led to reduction of mortality among rabbits with the severest manifestations of the syndrome and a more frequent and full recovery of animals who survived.
