Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the healing of postoperative wounds in bitches after hemimastectomy

The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an accepted method supporting wound healing in human medicine. Yet, because the risk complications associated with HOBT, a safer modification therapy, known as L-HOBT (lower pressure and lower concentration), increasingly used nowadays. Therefore, due to lack literature reports regarding clinical L-HBOT animals, authors decided present results supportive treatment postoperative wounds after hemimastectomy compared classic treatment. study group included 12 bitches divided into two groups: A (assisted L-HBOT) B (classic treatment). In addition conventional treatment, 1.5 hours chamber for 5 consecutive days, starting 24 surgery (1500hPa 26% concentration chamber). patients were followed evaluated throughout course by independent doctors. revealed no negative impact on body animals. At same time, healed faster fewer control group. This resulted shorter period, terminating earlier skin suture removal.
