ABSTRACT
The study was made of HBO effect on changes of biologic fluid toxicity in purulent peritonitis. HBO was introduced in combined therapy of 68 patients (32 with general peritonitis and 36 with peritoneal sepsis). Lethality in peritonitis patients reached 40.6% (19 patients), in sepsis patients 33.3% (12 patients).

Forty patients with acute neurosensory hypoacusis of vascular genesis were exposed to combined treatment that included hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and drug therapy to improve microcirculation, vasodilation and metabolism. In order to control HBO side effects (vasoconstriction), the patients were subdivided into two subgroups of 20 subjects each. Group 1 patients were treated with HBO immediately before drug administration and Group 2 patients were treated with HBO immediately after drug administration. Good effects in Group 2 patients were twice as large. This was achieved by elimination of HBO side effects due to drug administration immediately before hyperbaric exposure.
