Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is used for many conditions, but oral and maxillofacial surgery guidelines are missing. This article clarifies patient selection, contraindications, and risks for HBO therapy in this specialty.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Oxygen Therapy

Background:

  • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is widely referenced for treating human diseases.
  • The oral and maxillofacial surgery field lacks specific guidance on HBO therapy.
  • Existing literature does not adequately cover patient selection, contraindications, or risks associated with HBO in this surgical specialty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide comprehensive patient selection criteria for HBO therapy in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  • To discuss the relative and absolute contraindications for utilizing HBO therapy.
  • To detail the potential risks and complications associated with HBO treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

  • Analysis of current practices and guidelines in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  • Synthesis of information regarding HBO therapy indications and adverse events.

    • Main Results:

    • Established criteria for selecting appropriate patients for HBO therapy.
    • Identified specific contraindications (both relative and absolute) to HBO use.
    • Described potential risks, including barotrauma and oxygen toxicity, and their management.

    Conclusions:

    • Clear guidelines for patient selection are crucial for safe and effective HBO therapy in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
    • Understanding contraindications is essential to prevent adverse outcomes.
    • Awareness of potential risks allows for proactive management and improved patient safety.
