Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Percentage Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1%) — 88.0; 85.9; 87.4; 84.6 Percentage of FEV1
Summary
Patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for any indication at the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit (University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada) from 2016-2021 were recruited to this prospective cohort study. While receiving HBOT (at 2.0-2.4 ATA, with 1-3 "air breaks", with specific treatment details determined on a case-by-case basis and directed by the clinical team), enrolled patients underwent pulmonary function testing prior to HBOT treatment and serially after each 20 completed treatment cycles.
