      Abstract

      Drenching the tissues with oxygen by means of inhalation of pure oxygen in a hyperpressure tank under a pressure of 3 atmospheres (absolute) was introduced as an aid in the treatment of anaerobic infections. Four patients (Cullen ulcer and clostridial myositis) were treated successfully in this manner.
