Randomized Controlled TrialHyperbaric side effects in a traumatic brain injury randomized clinical trial.
To catalog the side effects of 2.4 atmospheres absolute (atm abs) hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) vs. sham on post-concussion symptoms in military service members with combat-related, mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). ⋯ This study demonstrated no major adverse events, such as pulmonary barotraumas, pulmonary edema or seizure. Given the infrequent, mild side effect profile, the authors feel the study demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) was safe at a relatively high treatment pressure in TBI subjects, and these data can be used to evaluate the risk/ benefit calculation when deciding to utilize HBO2T for treatment of various diseases in the TBI population.
