The problem of an entrapped, distended intestinal tube balloon has been successfully resolved on four occasions by hyperbaric therapy. At four to five atmospheres absolute, the volume and diameter of the balloon in all four cases was reduced sufficiently to allow easy and safe extubation. The alternative approaches of forceful, traumatic extubation or laparotomy and enterotomy with their inherent dangers and problems were thus avoided.

高压氧治疗已成功解决了4例被困扩张肠管球囊的问题。在绝对压力为4至5个大气压时，所有4例病例中球囊的体积和直径均充分减小，从而能够轻松安全地拔除导管。因此避免了强行、创伤性拔管或剖腹术及肠切开术等替代方法及其固有的风险和问题。
