Summary:The OKA-MT pressure chamber was used. The course consisted of 6-15 sessions at a pressure of 1.6-2.0 at. abs. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was included in the complex of therapeutic measures applied in the postoperative period in patients with ruptured aneurysms of the cerebral vessels. From comparison of the course of the disease in 47 patients treated by HBO with that in 30 patients not subjected to HBO (control group) the authors conclude that the inclusion of HBO in the complex of measures applied after operations on the cerebral vessels for ruptured aneurysms has a positive effect on the course of the disease: the grave condition is less prolonged; the duration of the meningeal syndrome, headache, and temperature reaction is shorter by 6 days than in the control group; the number of patients with a good result of treatment increases by 18%; mental disorders in the absence of hematoma of the frontal area are prevented; the frequency of suppurations of the postoperative wound diminishes.
