H. H. PINKERTON M.B., F.F.A.R.C.S., F.R.F.P.S.G.1

1 Consultant-in-Charge, Department of Anaesthetics, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland

An account has been given of a pressurized chamber in which the physiological advantages of administering oxygen in an ambient pressure of 2 atmospheres are reviewed. Their application to medical and surgical problems is considered with special reference to the use of the chamber for open-heart surgery, the treatment of severe cases of gas-poisoning and barbiturate coma, and traumatic cases involving vascular occlusion or disruption. A brief account of experimental work that led up to these uses is included.

Note:

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, May 14–17, 1962.
