    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) shows mixed results for thermal burn treatment. Current evidence is insufficient to confirm HBOT

    Area of Science:

    • Hyperbaric medicine
    • Burn treatment
    • Evidence-based medicine

    Background:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves administering 100% oxygen at elevated pressures.
    • HBOT is utilized for various conditions and has been suggested for burn patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating HBOT for thermal burns.
    • To assess the efficacy of HBOT in managing thermal burn injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Searched multiple databases including Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and DORCTHIM.
    • Included RCTs comparing HBOT with no HBOT (sham or no treatment).
    • Data extraction and validity assessment performed by two independent reviewers.

    Main Results:

    • Two RCTs met inclusion criteria; both were of poor methodological quality.
    • One trial found no significant difference in length of stay, mortality, or surgeries.
    • The second trial indicated shorter healing times with HBOT (19.7 days vs. 43.8 days).

    Conclusions:

    • Insufficient evidence exists to support or refute HBOT's effectiveness for thermal burns.
    • Current RCT evidence does not provide clear practice guidelines.
    • Further research is required to determine HBOT's role in burn management.
