Abstract

Two groups of suicidants with residual posthypoxic encephalopathy (n = 324 and 120 respectively) were examined. The first group received treatment by hyperbaric oxigenation according to a specially designed methodology, the second one had conventional therapy. Marked improvement was found in intellectual and other mental functions in the patients on HBO treatment and practically no gain in those on conventional therapy. HBO was found to be well worth delivering to the above patients.
