SCIENCE
A new clinical trial supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) will use laser speckle imaging (LSI) technology to measure blood flow velocity at wound sites in patients receiving HBOT versus patients receiving standard care. The WoundImager device was developed by CW Optics, Seaford VA.
PATIENT STORIES
Last Sunday a SCUBA diver suffering the bends was saved with the nimble assistance of the SOS Hyperlite Hyperbaric Stretcher based at Health Centre of the Haute-Côte-Nord, Québec. The rescue marks the first Canadian use of the device.
