XU Lun-shan

Abstract

Objective To observe the influence of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) on neurologic function impairment(NFI) and activities of daily living caused by cerebral edema in patients with meningiomas after operation.Methods 120 cases with meningiomas were divided into two groups:treated with and without HBO besides conventional treatment.The scores of NFL and Barthel were evaluated before and after treatment.Results The scores of brain edema,NFL and ADL after HBO treatment were siginificantly higher than those in control group.Conclusion HBO can be actively used in patients with meningiomas in the early stage after operation,which can improve neurologic function and quality of life significantly.
