Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy and Wounds

http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com

" 1. Hyperbaric Therapy used under pressure or hyperbaric oxygen HBOT can assist wound healing. 2. HBOT is considered unnecessary in simple, well-perfused wounds, but can be used successfully in hypoxic or ischaemic wounds such as diabetic wounds, venous stasis ulcers, failing grafts and flaps, necrotising soft tissue infections and refractory osteomyelitis. 3. In wound healing, hypoxia is an insufficient supply of oxygen which prevents normal healing processes. Hyperbaric Therapy provides the oxygen needed to stimulate and support wound healing. 4. Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy is able to combat clinical infection such as gas gangrene by acting directly on anaerobic bacteria, enhancing leukocyte and macrophage activity and potentiating the effects of antibiotics. 5. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a relatively safe non-invasive therapy. Side effects include middle ear and pulmonary barotraumas and myopia. Contraindications include poor cardiac output and severe obstructive pulmonary disease.
