Clinical Research of Early Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Patients with Hypertensive Cerebral Hemorrhage After Craniotomy

Özet

AIM: To observe the effect of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the improvement of consciousness and prognosis ofpatients with severe brain damages after craniocerebral craniotomy.MATERIAL and METHODS: Eighty-one patients who had cerebral hemorrhage and underwent clearance of hematoma anddecompressive craniectomy from August 2013 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into HBOand non-HBO therapy groups. The treatment effects were scored and subjected to corresponding statistical analysis.RESULTS: There were significant differences in the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores at 3 and 5 weeks (t=2.293 and t=3.014,respectively, p<0.05), and in Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores at 5 weeks and 3 months between the two groups (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: Early HBO therapy could improve the consciousness and prognosis of patients with cerebral hemorrhage aftercraniotomy.
