Effects of hyperbaric oxygen and hyperbaric air on the survival of island skin flaps.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of hyperbaric air and oxygen on skin survival were studied in acute 8 X 8 cm neurovascular island flaps in rats. Skin flaps treated with hyperbaric 8% oxygen (equivalent to room air at standard pressure) exhibited no improvement in skin survival. Skin flaps treated with hyperbaric air (21% oxygen) and hyperbaric 100% oxygen exhibited significant increases in survival.

An evidence-based appraisal of the use of hyperbaric oxygen on flaps and grafts.
Hyperbaric oxygen has been advocated, both as an adjunctive or primary form of treatment, for a variety of disorders, including gas gangrene, osteoradionecrosis, and carbon monoxide poisoning. It has also been used to improve ischemic wounds before skin grafting and to support ischemic flaps. In this review, we analyze the available literature that investigates the use of hyperbaric oxygen for ...
متن کاملUnderstanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy and its use in the treatment of compromised skin grafts and flaps.
Nonhealing wounds represent a problem involving inadequate oxygenation of the tissues that can lead to hypoxic injury. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as an adjunctive therapy for compromised grafts and flaps that have failed to show improvement with standard wound therapy and offer additional physiologic benefits in the reversal of wound hypoxia and hypoperfusion. A literature review con...
متن کاملSkin Grafts and Flaps (compromised)
Rationale Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is neither necessary nor recommended for the support of normal, uncompromised skin grafts or flaps. However, in tissue compromised by irradiation or in other cases where there is decreased perfusion or hypoxia, HBO2 has been shown to be extremely useful in flap salvage. Hyperbaric oxygen can help maximize the viability of the compromised tissue thereby...

متن کاملEffects of stromal cell derived factor-1 and CXCR4 on the promotion of neovascularization by hyperbaric oxygen treatment in skin flaps.
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is known to increase the survival of skin flaps by promoting neovascularization; however, the detailed mechanisms involved are not fully understood. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the effects of HBO treatment on neovascularization and skin flap survival. We also analyzed the mechanisms associated with the expression of angiogenic molecules, such as stroma...
