[Use of blood biochemical parameters for evaluating the clinical effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy]

Changes in the total peroxidase activity (TPA) and extraerythrocyte hemoglobin (EEH) content have been studied in the blood plasma and serum of patients treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). TPA and EEH content after the 3rd HBO session increased by 38% and 257%, respectively, in the plasma and by 56% and 74%, respectively, in the serum. By the end of HBO therapy course, after the 8th session, plasma level of the parameters under study normalized, while their serum level was higher than baseline. Possible use of the parameters under study for the assessment of HBO efficacy is discussed.
