Summary
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) aids chronic wound healing when conventional methods fail. Measuring transcutaneous oxygen levels (TcPO2) under HOT helps guide treatment decisions and manage care effectively.
Area of Science:
- Wound healing
- Hyperbaric medicine
- Tissue oxygenation
Background:
- Chronic wounds often present significant healing challenges.
- Conventional treatments may be unsuccessful for problematic chronic wounds.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) is a potential therapeutic addition.
