Oxygen Therapy to Enhance Wound Healing After Revascularization
1Trauma Surgery Division, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Abstract:
Oxygen is one of the important factors for wound healing and infection control. The revascularization procedure is amended to correct the tissue hypoxia problem by increasing the blood flow to obtain an adequate amount of oxygen. Hypoxic wounds are still the issue in the cases of unsuccessful or incomplete revascularization. The issue needs to be clarified and confirmed by proper methods for management to achieve wound healing and prevent limb loss. Oxygen therapy may benefit in the case of remaining hypoxia or wound infection in postrevascularization.
