[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on hemodynamics in patients with infection]

The stage-wise character of the course of sepsis is substantiated on the basis of an analysis of the central venous pressure parameters, central and peripheral hematocrite, pulse rate, respiration, ECG data and rheohepatograms in 81 patients with surgical sepsis. The stage-wise course of sepsis is also confirmed by specific hemodynamic reactions of the organism in response to the first session of HBO which allows to differentiate the indications for this kind of treatment.
