Abstract: A multidisciplinary team developed an evidence-based guideline for the management of foot burns occurring in diabetic patients that included transcutaneous oxygen measurements (TCOM) and application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to selected patients....
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat diabetes impaired wound healing in rats.
Abstract: Wound healing in diabetes is frequently impaired and its treatment remains a challenge. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) receives a wide attendance and is often used as a last resort treatment option, however, its effectiveness for many conditions is...
Systemic wound care: a meta-review of cochrane systematic reviews.
Abstract: Wound care is a classic example of a surgical realm with a great variation in care. The diversity in wounds and wound treatments, the limited amount of convincing evidence, and the diverging opinions among doctors and nurses involved in wound care contribute...
The Kent hospital Wound Recovery and Hyperbaric Medicine Center: a brief overview, 1998-2013.
Abstract: A brief description of the Wound Recovery and Hyperbaric Medicine Center, now in its second decade of service, will inform the general medical community of this valuable asset. Demand for wound care services is predicted to grow steadily over the next...

Is additional hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost-effective for treating ischemic diabetic ulcers? Study protocol for the Dutch DAMOCLES multicenter randomized clinical trial?
Abstract: The value of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of diabetic ulcers is still under debate. Available evidence suggests that HBOT may improve the healing of diabetic ulcers, but it comes from small trials with heterogeneous populations and...
Commentary on the conversion to an advanced standard of care for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds.
