EBOO

EBOO

EBOO or Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation is a unique hemofiltration-like procedure developed and now used routinely in the medical department at the University of Siena in Italy [cite journal |author=Di Paolo N, Gaggiotti E, Galli F |title=Extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation: clinical and biological implications of ozone therapy |journal=Redox Rep. |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=121–30 |year=2005 |pmid=16156950 |doi=10.1179/135100005X38888 |url=] , and also in outpatient clinics in Malaysia and Japan.

EBOO combines modern membrane dialysis used to treat heart, kidney and liver failure with, ozone therapy historically a popular alternative therapy in mainland Europe, the evidence base for which had long been questioned by western medicine. [cite journal |author=Zimran A, Wasser G, Forman L, Gelbart T, Beutler E |title=Effect of ozone on red blood cell enzymes and intermediates |journal=Acta Haematol. |volume=102 |issue=3 |pages=148–51 |year=2000 |pmid=10692679 |doi= |url=http://content.karger.com/produktedb/produkte.asp?typ=fulltext&file=aha02148] . Extensive testing of EBOO has revealed no toxicity or side effects in sheep or human volunteers.

Rationale, methodology and preliminary studies |journal=Int J Artif Organs |volume=22 |issue=9 |pages=645–51 |year=1999 |month=Sep |pmid=10532435 |doi= |url=] [ cite web |url=http://www.ossigenoozono.it/Ozone%20therapy.htm| title= Ozone Therapy Editorial Review| publisher= International Journal of Artificial Organs 2004 ] EBOO is designed to amplify the therapeutic benefits reported of Autohemotherapy (O3-AHT) by treating a greater volume of blood (4 litres/hr) at a lower ozone concentration (<20 μg/ml). [cite journal |author=Di Paolo N, Bocci V, Garosi G, "et al" |title=Extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation (EBOO) in man. preliminary report |journal=Int J Artif Organs |volume=23 |issue=2 |pages=131–41 |year=2000 |month=Feb |pmid=10741810 |doi= |url=]

A clinical trial of EBOO showed it to be more effective in the treatment of peripheral artery disease than prostacyclin. [cite journal |author=Di Paolo N, Bocci V, Salvo DP, "et al" |title=Extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation (EBOO): a controlled trial in patients with peripheral artery disease |journal=Int J Artif Organs |volume=28 |issue=10 |pages=1039–50 |year=2005 |month=Oct |pmid=16288443 |doi= |url=] . Further trials are currently underway for heart disease and stroke patients for which preliminary reports of ozone treatment have been positive.

Clinical trials of Celacade, another blood ozonation treatment, have reported similar benefits in chronic heart failure.

EBOO is also reported to have remedied necrotizing fasciitis, an often fatal bacterial infection resistant to antibiotics. [cite journal |author=Di Paolo N, Bocci V, Cappelletti F, Petrini G, Gaggiotti E |title=Necrotizing fasciitis successfully treated with extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonization (EBOO) |journal=Int J Artif Organs |volume=25 |issue=12 |pages=1194–8 |year=2002 |month=Dec |pmid=12518965 |doi= |url=] Ozone's anti-bacterial and viral properties have been employed successfully in water purification.

Oxygenators designed for heart surgery and kidney dialysis may not suitable for EBOO. Due to the oxidative nature of ozone, the filter components and membranes will block up and inhibit the effective exchange of gas, possibly releasing toxic compounds into the circulating blood.
