Jain's (American College of Hyperbaric Medicine) fully revised and updated textbook/specialist reference reflects the progress made in hyperbaric medicine during the past four years. During 1999-2002, 1000-plus publications relevant to the field appeared; some 200 have been added to the bibliography, and a similar number of older references deleted, to keep the total number of references in the bibliography to 2000. The text also incorporates published results of recent clinical trials for various applications, and features a new chapter on the treatment of cerebral palsy using hyperbaric oxygenation.
