Background: The objective study was to evaluate the use and the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjuvant therapy in 6 cases of descending necrotizing mediastinitis.Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study, performed between 2010 and 2019. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was indicated in difficult clinical management cases despite surgery and antibiotic therapy.Results: Six patients had oxygen therapy sessions in addition to antibiotic treatment and surgery. There was marked clinical and radiological improvement in 5 cases. Only one patient died in a septic shock.Conclusions: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as adjuvant therapy to surgery and antibiotic treatment, can increase survival and provide good clinical results.

This communication presents the experience of using mobile pressure chambers in patients with the confi rmed novel coronavirus infection in hospital settings. The obtained preliminary results indicate positive antihypoxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) applied in the form of increased saturation. After a session of HBO, patients demonstrated an increase in the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin at the average level of 3.71 points. Differences between SatO2 levels prior to and following HBO treatment were signifi cant in the CT2, CT3 and CT4 groups (p0.05). As expected, the effi cacy of HBO in terms of the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin was the greatest in the patient groups showing pronounced clinical and radiological changes in the lungs.
