Key result
Hyperbaric oxygen after coronary reperfusion markedly reduces ischaemic area and suppresses serious arrhythmias.

Does hyperbaric oxygen reduce the ischaemic area in a canine model of temporary coronary artery occlusion?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy immediately after coronary reperfusion reduces myocardial ischaemic injury and suppresses arrhythmias in a canine model.
Kawamura et al. (1976) studied temporary ischaemic myocardium (n=30). Hyperbaric oxygen vs. Controls was evaluated on Macroscopic extent of ischaemic area. Hyperbaric oxygen at 2 atmospheres immediately after reopening of occluded coronary blood flow markedly reduced the ischaemic area and suppressed serious arrhythmias.
