Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygenation was utilized successfully with a five-year-old child who developed a fulminating tracheo bronchitis and pneumonitis as a result of smoke inhalation. Analysis of this case, in addition to results from animal experiments, suggest an important sup pressive relationship between hyperoxia and the pulmonary inflammatory re sponse to injury.
