AB  - INTRODUCTION: We aimed to analyse the outcomes of hyperbaric oxygen treatment 
      (HBOT) and describe difficulties encountered in infants, a rare patient 
      population in this therapeutic intervention, with limited scientific reports. 
      METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of patients 12 months old or younger 
      who underwent HBOT in two different institutions. Demographic data, clinical 
      presentation, HBOT indication, chamber type, oxygen delivery method, total number 
      of treatments, outcome and complications were extracted from clinical records. 
      RESULTS: There were 54 infants in our study. The patients' median age was 3.5 
      (range 0-12) months. The major HBOT indication was acute carbon monoxide 
      intoxication (n = 32). A total of 275 HBOT treatments were administered, mostly 
      performed in multiplace chambers (n = 196, 71%). Only one patient (2%) required 
      mechanical ventilation. Acute signs were fully resolved in the most patients (n = 
      40, 74%). No complications related to HBOT were reported. CONCLUSIONS: This study 
      suggests that HBOT may be a safe and effective treatment for infants. 
      Paediatricians should consider HBOT when indicated in infants even for the 
      preterm age group.
