We’re back to discuss LUNA microangiography.

Joining me today is Dr. Tom Masters and Ryan Wudtke, one of our stupendous hyperbaric techs.

We will discuss what LUNA is, what it does, situations where this is currently utilized, set up, contraindications and some potential future uses.

Below are a couple LUNA imaging examples as well.


Left foot frostbite injury showing decreased bloodflow to the distal toes.
Right 5th ray amputation site with ischemic area along the suture line (sutures were immediately removed by podiatry while obtaining this image).

Hello again

This time we’re doing something a little different and talking with two of our technicians (ie the ones who run the chamber).

We’re back to talk about a little less emergent issue though one that is quite debilitating for those afflicted by it: Radiation Cystitis.

This can be a debilitating disease causing frequent pain, bladder spasms and hematuria causing many to frequent EDs/ clinic for obstructive symptoms or symptomatic anemia.

This month we discuss a case, some pathophysiology and management in the acute setting and how we treat these patients in the hyperbaric chamber.

This time we discuss Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections or NSTI.

We talk a little pathophys, ED management and our management at the chamber.

Basic pathophysiology:

  • HBO can enhance phagocytic abilities of PMNs and other cells of the body, enhance the bacterial killing potential of antibiotics, reduce edema and increase oxygen delivery to locally hypoxic areas which can slow the progress of facultative anaerobes and other bacteria.
  • The higher oxygen tension stops the production of the alpha toxin with clostridial infections.

Hyperbaric oxygen has many uses not only related to diving related injuries.

This case demonstrates a use that has nothing to do with the water: central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).

We have previously discussed this at EMDocs as well here.

We discuss the following:

  • 2 cases
  • Anatomy and pathophysiology of this disease
  • Work up in the acute care setting
  • Other considerations
  • Need for hospitalization (these patients should probably get a stroke work up for their eye stroke)
  • Ophthalmology management
  • Stroke work up
  • Hyperbaric management
  • HCMC hyperbaric data

Case 1

  • Initial Vision: Hand motion
  • Final Vision: 20/200

Case 1

Case 2

  • Initial vision: 20/400
  • Final vision:  20/25 -2

Case 1 – DCS

Diving is what we love so why not start with a case of the bends or decompression sickness (DCS).

This case covers a more severe case of DCS.

Here’s a link to the Diver’s Alert Network (24/7 Emergency Contact 1-919-684-9111).

We discuss the following:

  • Some useful resources if you are taking care of an injured diver.
  • General pathophysiology of DCS.
  • Risk factors associated with DCS.
  • General tips if you are taking care of a diver.
  • What we do to treat a DCS patient at a hyperbaric chamber.
  • General diving tips (for those who dive themselves).
