[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the overall treatment of diffuse peritonitis in children].

From 245 examined children with diffuse appendicular peritonitis hyperbaric oxygenation was used in 127 children in the complex treatment during the postoperative period. The comparative evaluation of the efficiency of the complex therapy of peritonitis with the use of hyperbaric oxygenation and without it shows a high therapeutic effect of such combination. The patients quicker get the better of a grave postoperative state and have less complications. The mortality is lower. The patients spend less time in the intensive therapy room and at the hospital.
