[The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the osmotic status of children with surgical pathology of the abdominal organs]. / Vliianie giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii na osmoticheskoe sostoianie u detei s khirurgicheskoi patologiei organov briushnoi polosti.

The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on blood osmolality has been studied in children with abdominal pathology. It has been shown that HBO has a considerable effect on blood osmolality evident both during and after the HBO session. To prevent possible HBO-induced disturbances of blood osmolality special pretreatment with ten infusion solutions has been suggested. Pretreatment resulted in enhanced compensatory abilities of the body with regard to adaptation to HBO-associated osmotic stress. This may be confirmed by absolute values of blood osmolality and some ospogramme components and by the absence of complications in the pretreated children.
