Doesn’t seem to be particularly mind blowing (no pun intended).
In kids, the brain is still developing. They used oxygen therapy here to reduce
inflammation and promote the growth of the brain tissue.
I will give you that the article is badly written and researched though.
Summary off the medical journal:
A 2-year-old girl experienced cardiac arrest after cold water drowning.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed deep gray matter injury on day 4 and
cerebral atrophy with gray and white matter loss on day 32. Patient had no
speech, gait, or responsiveness to commands on day 48 at hospital discharge.
She received normobaric 100% oxygen treatment (2 L/minute for 45 minutes by
nasal cannula, twice/day) since day 56 and then hyperbaric oxygen treatment
(HBOT) at 1.3 atmosphere absolute (131.7 kPa) air/45 minutes, 5 days/week for
40 sessions since day 79; visually apparent and/or physical
examination-documented neurological improvement occurred upon initiating each
therapy. After HBOT, the patient had normal speech and cognition, assisted
gait, residual fine motor and temperament deficits. MRI at 5 months after
injury and 27 days after HBOT showed near-normalization of ventricles and
reversal of atrophy. Subacute normobaric oxygen and HBOT were able to restore
drowning-induced cortical gray matter and white matter loss, as documented by
sequential MRI, and simultaneous neurological function, as documented by video
and physical examinations.
You need to note that this is a first time thing. For all we know the kid’s
brain regrew because of the alignment of the stars. Until they repeat the
experiment, no one can prove different.
