Sound Health: Chronic wounds affect 1 in 4 family members
The Center for Wound Healing at Carle BroMenn Medical Center uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy as one of its treatment methods.We all get cuts and scrapes, but for a lot of people, those injuries may not heal. And the longer a wound stays open, the higher the risk of...
Is There an Association Between Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Improved Outcome of Deep Chemical Peeling? A Randomized Pilot Clinical Study.
Abstract: Phenol chemical peeling (PCP) treatment is associated with prolonged recovery and sustained adverse events. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is known to accelerate wound healing. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of HBOT on PCP...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves Oral Graft Take In Hypospadias Stag Reoperations.
Abstract: Increased complications following failed hypospadias repairs suggest impaired wound healing is a contributing factor. We used perioperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to promote wound healing determined by graft take in staged tubularized autograft...
Preconditioning and postoperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy to reduce skin flap erosion after osmidrosis surgery.
Abstract: Osmidrosis surgery is still recognized as one of the best ways to treat body odor, especially the liposuction assisted curettage due to the relatively small incision that does not leave any scars, which, nevertheless, may still cause many complications. One...
Treating mucormycosis using a multimodality approach: a case series.
Abstract: Most fungal infections found in wounds are secondary or superadded, and are generally benign in their clinical course in healthy individuals, with the exception of mucormycosis. This is a life-threatening infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales....
Thermal imaging and planimetry evaluation of the results of chronic wounds treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: One of the methods to treat chronic wounds is the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Objective measurement of the wound surface is an important element in the process of monitoring and predicting the progress of treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate...
Significance of Hyperbaric Oxygenation in the Treatment of Fournier’s Gangrene: A Comparative Study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), in addition to anti-infective and surgical therapy, seems to be a key treatment point for Fournier's gangrene. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of HBO therapy on the outcome and prognosis of Fournier's...
Role of Negative Pressure Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Sternal Wound Infections After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery.
Abstract: Sternal wound infections after pediatric cardiac surgery are uncommon but can be morbid. We describe an institutional protocol for complicated sternal wounds utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). A...
