dc.description.abstractBackground: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of Hyperbaric Oxygen HBOT group (HBOT) in improving brain function in Traumatic brain injury patients suffering acute neurocognitive impairments. Aims: To study efficacy & safety of hyperbaric oxygen HBOT group on mortality and morbidity in acute traumatic brain injury with respect to degree of recovery, speed of recovery, length of stay in the hospital. Methods: In this prospective study we present 100 cases of head injuries. Patients were included in the study according to inclusion criteria. Fifty of them assigned to the control group and 50 to the HBO treatment group. Allocation is done by chit method in control and HBOT group. Glasgow coma score was obtained pre HBOT and post HBOT. The outcome was assessed by two blinded independent examiners. Results: All patients were assessed for improvement in GCS score. The average improvement in GCS score was 5.29% and 3.87% in HBOT and control group respectively. Similarly the average hospital stay was 12.26% days in the HBOT and 27% in the control group. Conclusion: Hence we would like to conclude that, HBOT is safe and effective for acute brain injury.en_US
