Abstract:
BACKGROUND: It is believed previously that hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)therapy can prevent stroke, but some scholars think HBO therapy on the contrary can induce stroke although its pathogen and prevention are unclear.OBJECTIVE: To study the reason of cerebral thrombosis induced by HBO and the preventive effects of the medicine.DESIGN: A retrospective study based on patients as subjects.SETTING: Department of HBO in a military area command hospital ofChinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 192 hospitalized patients receiving HBO therapy in Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA were selected, in which there were 127 males and 65 females aged between 9 and 78 years old. A total of 6 cases including 3 male and 3 female cases aged between 51 and 76 years old developed cerebral thrombosis during therapy.METHODS: The background factors of 192 patients who received HBO therapy and the included 6 cerebral thrombosis cases were analyzed. Totally preventive effects of the medicine on a cluster level of different risk factor. Three groups of patients received different interventions under the prerequisites of routine medications including blood-activating and stasis-eliminating, neurotrophy, and vasodilator patients of nitric ether group received oral administration of isosorbide dinitrate or glycerin trinitrate; patients of calcium antagonist group received oral administration of Sibelium or Novarsc; and patients of no specific medication group did not receive any preventive medicine.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients' symptoms, physical signs andhead CT or MRI.RESULTS: The risk factor of cerebral thrombosis induced by HBO was the basic disease of hyperlipidemia or hypertension, etc. A total of 115 cases had the cluster with less than 4 risk factors and none of them developed thrombosis. A total of 31 cases had the cluster with 4 or more than 4 risk factors and 6 of them developed thrombosis with greatly increased morbidity. Above the level of 4 risk factors, nitrate ether had effective preventive effect(0/13) while there was 33.3% of the patients(5/15) in calcium antagonist group developed thrombosis, and the difference between the above two groups was significant( P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The cluster level of risk factors has close relationship with the probability of thrombosis induced by HBO. Nitrate ether has significant preventive effects.
