Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on ischemia-modified albumin levels in people with diabetes with foot ulcers.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment accelerates the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) by increasing tissue oxygenation in hypoxic tissues. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is produced as a result of serum albumin flowing through ischemic tissues....
Peripheral neuropathy may increase the risk for asymptomatic otic barotrauma during hyperbaric oxygen therapy: research report.
Abstract: Otic barotrauma (OBT) is an adverse event seen in patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. After encountering a case of painless tympanic perforation during HBO2 therapy of a diabetic patient with the diagnosis of neuropathic Wagner Grade III...
Daily application of transdermal fentanyl patches in patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment for a variety of conditions, particularly nonhealing wounds. The treatment requires the inhalation of pure oxygen in a sealed chamber that is pressurized to 1.5 to 3 times that of normal atmospheric pressure....
Role of comorbidities as limiting factors to the effect of hyperbaric oxygen in diabetic foot patients: a retrospective analysis.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on selected diabetic foot wounds continues to be controversial. A holistic approach to diabetes and its comorbidities may be beneficial in the discussion of the proper application of this treatment...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen on flaps and grafts in China: analysis of studies in the past 20 years.
Abstract: In China, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been widely applied in the treatment of ischemia/hypoxia related diseases including decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic foot ulcer and others. Wounds after skin grafts are an indication for HBO2...
Literature review on the management of diabetic foot ulcer.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is the most costly and devastating complication of diabetes mellitus, which affect 15% of diabetic patients during their lifetime. Based on National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence strategies, early effective management...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment outcome for different indications from a single center.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is used as an adjunctive therapy for a variety of indications. However, there is a lack of high-quality research evaluating HBO treatment outcomes for different indications available in the current literature. We retrospectively...
Diabetic foot ulcer: an evidence-based treatment update.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are extremely debilitating and difficult to treat. Multidisciplinary management, patient education, glucose control, debridement, offloading, infection control, and adequate perfusion are the mainstays of standard care endorsed by...
