The purpose of this study was to determine if treating patients who have coronary heart disease with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) prior to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery reduces injury to the heart and vascular system during and after surgery. Furthermore, this study also aims to identify some of the post CABG clinical effects of HBO treatment prior to CABG.

Drug Hyperbaric Oxygen

100% Oxygen at 2.4 ATA for 30 minutes followed by 5 minutes break followed by 100% Oxygen at 2.4 ATA for another 30 minutes. This intervention was given about 4 to 5 hours prior to CABG

  • Other names: Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning

A No Intervention

Patients in this arm were not treated with HBO prior to CABG

B Experimental

Patients in this arm were treated with HBO prior to CABG
