Abstract

This work aimed to (Fijen 2016) determine the incidence and severity of barotrauma and identify the possibility of middle ear barotrauma in a high number of patients undergoing regular hyperbaric oxygen therapy. To explore and clarify this issue in terms of incident, seriousness and recurrence, age, gender, clinical signs, the specific history of chronic rhinitis, and symptoms of nasal obstruction during the occurrence were registered.

A first approach was performed by the authors where a descriptive statistical analysis and some elementary and intermediate statistical techniques such as variance analysis were performed. In the actual manuscript, a Logit model is built allowing us to relate the occurrence of barotrauma with the clinical profile of patients. We could conclude that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is safe.
