Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Abstract: Diabetic malperforans ulcers are extremely challenging problems, and their treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. The wound management technique is based on the depth of ulceration; necrosis and infection should be aggressively managed. Wound...

Abstract: To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic diabetic foot lesions, a prospective controlled study was undertaken. Thirty diabetics with chronic foot lesions were randomised to study group (conventional management and 4 sessions of hyperbaric...
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the care of the diabetic patient with nonhealing ulcers, refractory osteomyelitis, or both of the lower extremity can be a valuable adjunct in their overall treatment. Adequate tissue oxygenation to promote wound...
Abstract: Many nonhealing tissues are hypoxic, with oxygen tensions frequently ranging from 5 to 15 mmHg. In such an environment, the normal wound healing sequence is disrupted or halted and phagocytic killing activity depressed. So the adjunctive use of hyperbaric...

Abstract: The effect of 2 wk of topical hyperbaric oxygen (THO) treatment on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers without associated gangrene was evaluated in a prospective, controlled, and randomized manner in 28 patients. There were 12 patients in the THO group...
Abstract: Hypoxia in the relatively ischemic diabetic foot impairs leukocyte bacterial killing and fibroblast-collagen support for capillary angiogenesis. Infection in even the relatively young, "warm-foot" diabetic with microangiopathy, neuropathy, and...
Abstract: We treated a group of 18 hospitalized adult diabetic patients (all with retinopathy, 17 with symptomatic neuropathy, and 6 with macroangiopathy) presenting with gangrenous lesions of the foot by a combined regime consisting of strict metabolic control, daily...
