Brief Summary

The aim of the research project was to investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the redox equilibrium in individuals with different pathological conditions. Both hyperbaric oxygenation and the pathological condition are associated with redox imbalance (oxidative stress), however, HBO is successfully used in the treatment of chronic wounds, e.g., diabetic foot syndrome, as well as in sudden and acute hearing loss, e.g., acute acoustic trauma or idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Detailed Description

The study involed in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) patients, individuals with difficult-to-heal skin wounds following mechanical injuries, and diabetic foot patients. HBO therapy, which involved inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure of 2.5 atm, consisted of 14-30 sessions depending on the clinical case. The study material was venous blood drawn three times: before and after the first session, and after the last HBO procedure. The following variables were evaluated: the concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated dienes (CD) in plasma and erythrocytes, the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes, as well as, blood counts.
