Proceedings of the 14th International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine (2003)

These proceedings were held in San Francisco, California in October 2002, and include 48 complete papers submitted by distinguished physicians and scientists from around the world. The 14th International Congress was attended by delegates from 18 countries. The goal of each paper was to present the results of a basic science study, a clinical investigation, a case report, or the solution to a clinical or technical problem that occurred in a hyperbaric medicine practice. As the invited Boerema lecturer Professor Dirk J. Bakker discussed hyperbaric medicine in Amsterdam from a historical perspective. His classic presentation was followed by historical reviews from pioneers at three long-standing clinical hyperbaric facilities who summarized their clinical experience over the past quarter century.
