Dekleva 2004

Study characteristics

Methods

Unblinded randomised controlled trial, method of allocation and randomisation not described.

Participants

74 subjects enrolled with firm diagnosis of AMI. Excluded those with heart failure, severe arrhythmias and over 70 years.

Interventions

Control had thrombolysis with 1.5m IU streptokinase over 30 minutes. Experimental group had the same, plus a single session of HBOT at 2.0 ATA for 60 minutes (mean time to treatment 13hrs).

Methods

Unblinded randomised controlled trial. Randomisation by computer generated sequence, but allocation method unclear.

Participants

129 subjects enrolled with ECG or biochemical evidence of AMI between 3 and 10 days prior to enrolment and aged 30 to 75 years. The mean age of subjects in both the HBOT and control groups was 55 yrs (sd 1). The authors stated that the sex ratio was the same for both groups but did not give the exact figures.

Interventions

Control group had usual therapy including thrombolysis when indicated. Experimental group the same with the addition of HBOT at 1.3ATA for 40 minutes daily for six days.

Hot MI 1998

Study characteristics

Methods

Multicentred, randomised trial. Allocation method not described. No blinding. 16 subjects excluded after randomisation.

Participants

138 subjects enrolled in emergency room the numbers randomised to each arm were not reported. Patients in emergency room with AMI diagnosed by clinical features and ECG changes, and who were eligible for thrombolysis. Age 18 to 80 years. 16 excluded due to haemodynamic instability, no proven AMI, exceeded time limit for thrombolysis, incorrect protocol, incomplete data or refusal of HBOT. The mean age of subjects in both the HBOT and control groups was 59 yrs (sd 12) . 19% of the HBOT group were female, as were 26% of the control group.

Interventions

Controls received thrombolysis, aspirin, heparin and intravenous nitroglycerine. HBO group received the same plus 1 treatment of 2ATA 100% oxygen for 2 hours.

Outcomes

Death, time to pain relief, magnitude of enzyme change, left ventricular ejection fraction. Length of stay

Sharifi 2004

Study characteristics

Methods

Randomised controlled trial without blinding or allocation concealment. Patients refusing HBOT crossed over to control (5 subjects). Analysis by intention to treat is therefore not possible.

Participants

69 subjects enrolled (33 HBOT, 36 control) with clinical diagnosis of acute AMI or unstable angina, but were excluded if pain was ongoing, or S‐T segments unresolved after 30 minutes of medical therapy. The mean age of subjects in the HBOT group was 63 yrs (sd 12) and in the control group 65 yrs (sd 13). 42% of the HBOT group were female, as were 43% of the control group.

5 subjects crossed from HBOT to control after refusal or early termination of HBOT, while a further 4 subjects from each group did not require PCI. Therefore final analysis of 24 HBOT and 37 control subjects.

Interventions

Controls underwent stenting and received aspirin, heparin and clopidogrel. Experimental subjects received HBOT at 2ATA for 90 minutes 1 hour prior to or immediately following stent, and a second treatment within 18 hours. Medical therapy was the same for both groups.

Outcomes

MACE, adverse events

Notes

Risk of bias

Bias

Five patients crossed from HBOT to control arm. ITT analysis not possible.

Selective reporting (reporting bias)

Low risk

"The prespecified primary endpoints consisted of the composite endpoints of death, MI, emergent coronary bypass surgery and target lesion revascularization...". All were reported.

Other bias

Low risk

No indication of other significant bias.

Swift 1992

Study characteristics

Methods

Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation. Schedule called for 2 active for each control subject. No loss to follow‐up and subjects were blinded with sham therapy.

Participants

34 subjects (24 HBOT, 10 control) enrolled with firm clinical diagnosis of AMI within the past week, plus abnormal wall motion on transoesophageal echo. Uncontrolled heart failure excluded. Most had received thrombolysis. The mean age of subjects in the study was 58 yrs with a range from 27 to 70 yrs ‐ the figures for each group were not given. 10% of the subjects were female.

Interventions

Control group had echocardiography, exposure to 2ATA breathing air for 30 minutes and repeat echo. HBOT group had same schedule but breathed 100% oxygen at 2ATA

Outcomes

Improved LV function on echocardiography. No follow‐up past the immediate post‐HBOT phase. Outcome assessors were blinded and shown results in random sequence.

Notes

Perhaps not designed as a therapeutic trial, but does satisfy entry criteria and measured a short‐term outcome.

Risk of bias

Bias

Authors' judgement

Support for judgement

Random sequence generation (selection bias)

Unclear risk

No method of sequence allocation described. "Patients... were randomly allocated to received either room air or 100% oxygen."

Allocation concealment (selection bias)

Unclear risk

No method described.

Blinding (performance bias and detection bias)
All outcomes

Low risk

Sham therapy such that patient and investigators were blind. "Patients were pressurised to 2ATA for 30 minutes and were randomly allocated....".

Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes

Unclear risk

Some results are composite outcomes of individual segments of heart, so hard to tell if there is missing data. All individuals seem to be represented.

Selective reporting (reporting bias)

Low risk

All outcomes of interest to investigators seem to be reported.

Other bias

Low risk

No obvious source of bias.

Thurston 1973

Study characteristics

Methods

Sealed envelope randomisation, no blinding after allocation to group. 13 subjects withdrawn due to misdiagnosis or age recorded wrongly.

Participants

221 subjects (110 HBOT, 111 control) with strong clinical probability of myocardial infarction at admission, aged <70 years. 13 later excluded because of misdiagnosis or exceeded age limit.The mean age of subjects in the two groups was not give, but the age distribution was similar in the two groups, with the majority of subjects aged between 45 and 64 years. 15% of the HBOT group were female, as were 17% of the control group.

Interventions

Control: "full orthodox coronary care including oxygen at 6 lpm by mask."
HBOT: As above, minus mask oxygen and plus HBOT at 2ATA for 2 hours, followed by 1 hour on air at 1ATA, repeating for 48 hours

Outcomes

Death at 3 weeks, rate of significant dysrhythmias, adverse effects. MACE not given as death and significant dysrhythmia may have been reported in the same individual.

Notes

Some indication that HBOT subjects may have been more severely ill than control. Quality assessment: Randomisation: not described, Allocation: B, Performance Bias: unblinded, Detection bias: not described.

Risk of bias

Bias

Authors' judgement

Support for judgement

Random sequence generation (selection bias)

Unclear risk

Blinding (performance bias and detection bias)
All outcomes

High risk

No sham therapy.

Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes

Low risk

Primary outcome accounted for all patients after exclusions.

Selective reporting (reporting bias)

Low risk

All outcomes of interest apparently addressed.

Other bias

Unclear risk

Despite randomisation, the HBOT group was in general a little more unwell

High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.
