Abstract des Autors
Hyperbaric oxygen supposedly optimizes the environment for the injured muscle, tendon, or ligament. Currently, there are no accepted studies to justify the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of soft tissue injuries incurred in sports. The gap between the knowledge gleaned from the laboratory and severely traumatized patients, and the application of hyperbaric oxygen to the athlete in the locker room remains vast. The benefit from hyperbaric oxygen, as a very expensive therapeutic modality in the treatment of soft tissue injury, remains unproven, while the risks - such as tympanic membrane perforation - are significant.
