Abstract:
Blood gas parameters were measured in 20 patients with chronic cor pulmonale before and after a course of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBO). Results found that the HBO has increased PaO2 of patients from 73.8mmHg to 81.1mmHg and reduced AsDO2 from 26.5mmHg to 19.9mmHg with p<0.05. Except parameters of PaO2, pH and PaCO2, other parameters such as AaDO2, PaO2 and P50 must be measured in order to evaluate completely the effect of HBO. (Auth)
