Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and high sensitive C-protein (hs-CRP) in the patients with hemorrhagic stroke complicated by pulmonary infection.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with hemorrhagic stroke complicated by pulmonary infection were divided into control group,in which 60 received the conventional treatment and observed group,in which 60 received hyperbaric oxygen besides the conventional treatment.The curative effects and the serum levels of PCT and hs-CRP were compared between both the groups.Results The effective rate (91.67％,55/60) was significantly higher in the observed group than that (78.33％,47/60) in the control group (P＜0.05).The time of elimination of the infection was significantly shorter in the observed group than that in the control group (P＜0.05).The serum levels of PCT and hs-CRP were significantly lower in the observed group than those in the control group 1 month after the treatment.Conclusion The therapeutic effect can be improved by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the patients with cerebral hemorrhagic stroke complicated by pulmonary infection.It is suggested that the improvement of the curative effects produced by hyperbaric oxygen may be related to the decrease of inflammatory reaction.
