TI  - Tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine: recommendations for 
      accepted and non-accepted clinical indications and practice of hyperbaric oxygen 
      treatment.

AB  - The tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine took place in 
      April 2016, attended by a large delegation of experts from Europe and elsewhere. 
      The focus of the meeting was the revision of the European Committee on Hyperbaric 
      Medicine (ECHM) list of accepted indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment 
      (HBOT), based on a thorough review of the best available research and 
      evidence-based medicine (EBM). For this scope, the modified GRADE system for 
      evidence analysis, together with the DELPHI system for consensus evaluation, were 
      adopted. The indications for HBOT, including those promulgated by the ECHM 
      previously, were analysed by selected experts, based on an extensive review of 
      the literature and of the available EBM studies. The indications were divided as 
      follows: Type 1, where HBOT is strongly indicated as a primary treatment method, 
      as it is supported by sufficiently strong evidence; Type 2, where HBOT is 
      suggested as it is supported by acceptable levels of evidence; Type 3, where HBOT 
      can be considered as a possible/optional measure, but it is not yet supported by 
      sufficiently strong evidence. For each type, three levels of evidence were 
      considered: A, when the number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is 
      considered sufficient; B, when there are some RCTs in favour of the indication 
      and there is ample expert consensus; C, when the conditions do not allow for 
      proper RCTs but there is ample and international expert consensus. For the first 
      time, the conference also issued 'negative' recommendations for those conditions 
      where there is Type 1 evidence that HBOT is not indicated. The conference also 
      gave consensus-agreed recommendations for the standard of practice of HBOT.
