Clinical Application of Hyperbaric Oxygen

Printed with special permission, this book is released on a limited edition print run. FROM THE FOREWORD: In scientific research and medicine it has always been very important to know the literature in order not to duplicate things unnecessary. We feel it is very important to know the work of older colleagues in hyperbaric medicine and to learn from them. We must never forget that we are standing on the shoulders of our predecessors both in our scientific and our clinical work. The First Congress was strictly limited to invited clinicians and scientists, who were carefully selected by Boerema personally. You will notice many famous names from the 'History of Hyperbaric Medicine' mostly only known to you from literature references. A few of us will remember some of these colleagues from the old days personally. --D J Bakker, MD, PhD - Executive Director of the Foundation for the International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine (ICHM) Contents Include: Historical Perspective of Hyperbaric Therapy Medical Treatment Under High Atmospheric Pressure -Infectious Diseases -Coronary Infection -Miscellaneous Indications Cardiovascular Surgery Under High Atmospheric Pressure Tank Building Problems and Safety Measures Physiological and Pharmacological Problems Miscellaneous Reports
