Book Description: This is the first text to be devoted to the subspecialty of “Hyperbaric Surgery.” Contributors were compiled from a distinguished group of international physicians in HBOT to show the way surgeons are thinking when using HBOT in their daily practice in a wide variety of indications: Truamatology, Orthopedics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Urology, Surgical Oncology, Wound Healing, Burns, Soft Tissue Infections, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Intensive Care, etc. This textbook is intended for the practicing surgeon who has the availability of a hyperbaric chamber facility for the treatment of patients. Color photos and illustrations throughout the book provide detail and reveal stunning results.  Hardcover, 7 x 10.25 inches, 488  pages, Coated Stock. ISBN: 1-930536-08-9

Proceedings of the 14th
International Congress on
HYPERBARIC MEDICINE
 

San Francisco, CA, USA
Frederick S. Cramer and Paul J. Sheffield


These proceedings were held in San Francisco, California in October 2002, and include 48 complete papers submitted by distinguished physicians and scientists from around the world. The 14th International Congress was attended by delegates from 18 countries. The goal of each paper was to present the results of a basic science study, a clinical investigation, a case report, or the solution to a clinical or technical problem that occurred in a hyperbaric medicine practice.  As the invited Boerema lecturer Professor Dirk J. Bakker discussed hyperbaric medicine in Amsterdam from a historical perspective. His classic presentation was followed by historical reviews from pioneers at three long-standing clinical hyperbaric facilities who summarized their clinical experience over the past quarter century.
