- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
-
Wounds need oxygen to heal, so one of our treatment options is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). In HBOT, you enter a hyperbaric chamber and breathe in 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.
HBOT helps treat wounds and accelerates healing by reducing swelling, fighting infection and building new blood vessels. This ultimately produces healthy tissue and heals the wound.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments are beneficial for patients who have certain types of complicated or slow-healing wounds, such as bone infections or diabetic foot ulcers. The therapy works in conjunction with other treatments, like antibiotics, to accelerate the healing process.
Our wound care specialists may use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat conditions such as:
- Air or gas embolisms
- Bone infections
- Crush injuries and other traumatic injuries that compromise blood supply to tissues
- Decompression sickness
- First-, second-, and third-degree burns
- Gangrene
- Poisoning from carbon monoxide or cyanide
- Pressure sores
- Radiation treatment injuries or thermal burns
- Refractory osteomyelitis
- Skin grafts
- Wounds that have not healed with other therapies, such as diabetic foot ulcers
