    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, involving pressurized 100% oxygen, aids healing by improving blood flow to tissues. It benefits patients with radiation damage, infections, and non-healing wounds.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber.
    • HBOT increases oxygen levels in the blood, promoting tissue repair and healing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the therapeutic benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
    • To identify patient populations that can benefit from HBOT.

    Main Methods:

    • The study reviews the physiological effects of hyperbaric oxygen.
    • It identifies conditions where HBOT is an effective adjunctive treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Increased oxygen delivery to tissues enhances microcirculation and promotes healing.
    • HBOT is beneficial for radiation-induced tissue damage, refractory osteomyelitis, gas gangrene, and ischemic conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a valuable adjunctive treatment for specific conditions.
    • It accelerates healing in compromised tissues and non-healing wounds.
