The European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine recently held their 10th Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine in Lille, France from 14-16 April 2016.
Highlights were the change in ISSNHL and STRN (proctitis; cystitis) from type 2 to type 1, as well as Femoral Head Necrosis from no recommendation to level 2 recommendations, all supported by improved levels of evidence. The addition of a negative recommendation list is also new.
See the summary of the new updated ECHM European list of indications for HBOT in our library as well as an explanatory document on the consensus methodology and how to interpret the different types of recommendations and levels of evidence.
