Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a safe treatment for specific conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness. Its effectiveness in treating diabetic foot wounds is supported, but other uses require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Hyperbaric medicine
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Wound healing physiology

Context:

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been utilized for over 30 years for specific medical indications.
  • HBO enhances tissue oxygenation and influences cellular processes crucial for healing.
  • Established protocols ensure the safety and efficacy of HBO in approved applications.

Purpose:

  • To review the established indications and emerging applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • To evaluate the scientific evidence supporting the use of HBO in various clinical scenarios.
  • To highlight the safety profile and adverse effects of HBO treatment.

Summary:

  • HBO is a primary treatment for severe carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and arterial gas embolism.
