چکیده
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy continues to be discussed as another adjunctive therapy in the continuum of wound care. There is a dearth of evidence from randomized clinical trials on HBO therapy. For evidence-based practice, more randomized, controlled studies need to be conducted with HBO therapy to determine its efficacy in treating other chronic wounds besides those of patients with diabetes.

The Mechanism of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds and Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
Non-healing wounds are a growing public health concern, and more than $25 billion per year in the US are spent caring for patients with chronic wounds. Many of these patients are referred to specialized wound centers, where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) has become a mainstay in healing wounds, especially diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). However, it is costly, with a typical course of therapy run...

متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcers.
Foot ulcers are a common and devastating complication of diabetes. Many patients with diabetic foot ulcers experience significant disability and ultimately require amputation. Despite attentive management with multiple modalities including surgical debridement, relief of pressure, and other standard measures, many diabetic foot ulcers persist as chronic, nonhealing wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen (HB...
متن کامل[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic diabetic wounds of the lower limbs--a review of the literature].
Chronic wounds of the lower limbs are a cause of severe morbidity in diabetic patients. Low oxygen tension around the wound is one of several critical factors, which mutually enhance the progression of a chronic ulcer. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is believed to improve wound healing by enhancing oxygen tension around the wound. While conventional therapies for diabetic foot ulcer are based ...
