Hyperbaric (HBO) or normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy applied in acute ischemic stroke
aims to increase oxygen supply to the ischemic tissue and to reduce the extent of …

Previous studies of therapeutic oxygen in stroke have had conflicting results, and the latest
study by Rusyniak et al1 seems to suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is harmful …

Neuroprotective drugs have so far failed clinical trials, at high cost, and intravenous tissue
plasminogen activator (iv tPA) remains the only FDA-approved acute stroke therapy …

Stroke has become a significant cause of death and disability globally. Along with the
transition of the world's aging population, the incidence of acute ischemic stroke is …

Background: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy of cerebral ischemia has been evaluated in

Therapy for acute ischemic stroke can be approached in two basic ways: first, by an attempt
to restore or improve blood flow in an occluded vascular territory and, second, via therapy …

Acute ischemic stroke is a common and serious neurological disease. Oxygen therapy has
been shown to increase oxygen supply to ischemic tissues and improve outcomes after …

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability due to disturbance of blood supply to the
brain. As brain is highly sensitive to hypoxia, insufficient oxygen supply is a critical event …

BACKGROUND:: Both normobaric (NBO) and hyperbaric (HBO) oxygen therapy are
