Resumen
CALLEJON-PELAEZ, EG et al. Lessons identified by the Hyperbaric Departament about the treatment for COVID-19 patients with hyperbaric oxygentherapy. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2020, vol.76, n.2, pp.57-63. Epub 01-Feb-2021. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712020000200002.
During the first period of the COVID-19 pandemic and due to saturation of the health care system, it was necessary to treat with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) (in the Hyperbaric Medicine Service at the Defence Central Hospital «Gómez Ulla» (HCD)), some patients with PCR (+) for COVID -19, or with clinical, radiological or analytical high indicative data.
Objectives:
to treat patients without positive answer to regular treatment and to check the effectiveness of HBO as useful therapy for COVID-19.
Material and method:
There were valued 11 requests for treatment from COVID-9 wards and the Intensive Care Department. Eventually 6 of those patients were treated.
These patients were treated in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber between 1.6 and 2 ATAs and for 90 to 105 minutes of time, with ancillary personnel inside the chamber the whole sessions. There were also developed security protocols to prevent COVID-19 infection. Image and analytics controls were followed.
Results and conclusions:
35 sessions of treatment were completed. The patients received from 1 to 14 sessions. It did not happen any case of infection on the medical personnel of the HBO Department.
The patients which (due to their physical status) could receive 5 or more sessions had a better clinical evolution. Some desaturation reflexes were observed.
