Description

This textbook covers hyperbaric medicine and the wide range of applications of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) techniques. In addition to explaining the basic principles of HBO therapy, and its application in carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness, the textbook looks objectively and critically at its use in numerous other areas, such as stroke, CNS and neurological disorders, traumatology and wound healing, infectious diseases, rehabilitation and sports medicine, plastic surgery, emergency medicine, obstetrics, and cancer treatment. With over 2000 up-to-date references and an extensive index, the volume is not just a textbook suitable for those seeking an introduction to this expanding field but also a resource for specialists. Also included is a chapter on hyperbaric medicine as a specialty, with recommendations on training, practice, and research.
