Acute Pulmonary Edema After Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment: A Case Report Written With ChatGPT Assistance
Open accessAbstract
Acute pulmonary edema is a rare but severe complication of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. While patients with known cardiovascular problems may be able to withstand this therapy, rapid decompensation can still occur. Here, we present a case of a patient with known low ejection fraction and severe mitral regurgitation who developed acute pulmonary edema during the first hyperbaric treatment for a foot ulcer. This case highlights the importance of identifying patients that are high risk, such as those with moderate-to-severe cardiac disease, and pursuing other treatment options to avoid this complication.

Two recently published case studies with ChatGPT use in a journal contest discouraged the use of ChatGPT, citing lack of scientific accuracy, limited updated knowledge, and lack of ability to critically discuss results.
“These case studies discouraged the use of ChatGPT, citing the lack of scientific accuracy, the limited updated knowledge, and the lack of ability to critically discuss the results [38,49,50].”
From ChatGPT Utility in Healthcare Education, Research, and Practice: Systematic Review on the Promising Perspectives and Valid Concerns (2023) · cites this paper as [50]
The Discussion reports a 2021 knowledge cutoff, nonexistent citations, and limited ability to critically discuss results and literature. But the authors do not discourage ChatGPT use outright: they call it valuable for augmenting manuscript writing, while stressing that it cannot replace independent literature review and appraisal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
