Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Wounds.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the long-term progress of 26 patients who experienced postradiation osteonecrosis of the jaw between 1975 and 1989. Of 26 patients who had been previously managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a part of their...
Abstract: Biomedical technology as applied to wound healing management allows specific evaluations of the oxygen-related pathophysiology of non-healing wounds. In many of these cases the use of transcutaneous oxygen mapping of the skin and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...
Abstract: A retrospective study of scuba decompression illness (DCI) and fatalities in the U.S. military community on Okinawa Island, Japan, was performed for 1989-95. Some 94 cases of diving DCI, including 10 cases of cerebral air-gas embolism (CAGE), and 9 diving...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is associated with a risk of barotrauma to the middle ear. This prospective study of 82 patients undergoing long-term therapy for chronic conditions was designed to measure the incidence and severity of middle ear barotrauma....
Abstract: Despite advance radiotherapy techniques, long-term complications of radiation injury are still commonly seen. Acute effects are largely time dependent and can be controlled by alteration of therapy schedule. Chronic effects are dose dependent, and are...
Abstract: Clinicians involved in the conservative care of chronic wounds have many treatment interventions from which to choose, including debridement/irrigation, dressings, pressure-relieving devices, hyperbaric or topically applied oxygen, whirlpool/pulsed lavage,...
