Microcirculatory hemodynamics of the skin during hyperbaric oxygenation were assessed by determination of nailfold capillary red blood cell velocity (Vrbc). Under hyperbaric conditions a continuous increase in Vrbc was found. Control values, 0.43 +/- 0.12 mm. sec-1 (mean +/- sem), were significantly (P < 0.05) lower compared with Vrbc at the end of hyperbaric oxygenation (0.62 +/- 0.16 mm.sec-1).
