Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic wounds (Review)

BackgroundChronic wounds are common and present a health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Various pathologies may causetissue breakdown, including poor blood supply resulting in inadequate oxygenation of the wound bed. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT) has been suggested to improve oxygen supply to wounds and therefore improve their healing.ObjectivesTo assess the benefits and harms …

Evaluation of the Occlusive Arterial Disease and Diabetic Angiopathy Treatment Effects by Hyperbaric Oxygenation

Introduction: One of the most severe complications of atherosclerosis is arterial occlusive disease (AOD) and with diabetic angiopathy (DA), is a common chronic problem in clinical practice worldwide. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a therapeutic modality for solving all forms of hypoxia. Aim: To compare the treatment with HBO therapy in patients with AOD and DA ischemic …

Transcutaneous Oxygen Measurements Under Hyperbaric Oxygen Conditions as a Predictor for Healing of Problem Wounds

Controversy exists as to what transcutaneous oxygen (PICO.) levels are required for wound healing and what role hyperbaric oxygen has for this. Current information sug gests that 30 to 40 mmHg juxta-wound oxygen tensions in room air are required. We recorded P,cO. measure ments in room air and with hyperbaric oxygen in 190 patients with …

Relationship between ulcer healing after hyperbaric oxygen therapy and transcutaneous oximetry, toe blood pressure and ankle–brachial index in patients with diabetes and chronic foot ulcers

Aims/hypothesis The randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Foot Ulcers (HODFU) study showed beneficial effect of HBOT. As this treatment is expensive and time-consuming, being able to select patients for therapy would be very useful. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether circulatory variables could help …

Systematic Review or Meta-analysis Systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials examining the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in people with diabetes-related lower limb ulcers

AbstractAim To examine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in healing diabetes-related lower limb ulcers through a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.Methods A literature search was conducted to identify appropriate clinical trials. Inclusion required randomized study design and reporting of the proportion of diabetes-related lower limb ulcers that healed. A meta-analysis was performed to examine …

Evidence-Supported HBO Therapy in Femoral Head Necrosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Although many studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can signif icantly improve symptoms and quality of life of patients affected by femoral head necrosis, this therapy is not worldwide approved yet. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate its clinical effect. Relevant studies published before May 2020 were systematically searched using terms related …

Strontium ranelate treatment in a postmenopausal woman with osteonecrosis of the jaw after long-term oral bisphosphonate administration: a case report

Abstract: Bisphosphonates (BPs) suppress bone resorption and increase bone strength, thus reducing the risk of fracture. Oral BPs are widely used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia. Here, we describe the case of a postmenopausal woman who took oral alendronate for .3 years for osteoporosis. The patient presented at the clinic with sharp jaw …

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a Therapy Option in the Early Phase of Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head

AbstractAvascular necrosis of the femoral head is a progressive disease characterized by bone ischemia which evolves to subchondral collapse in more than 85% of patients. We describe a case of an early stage idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head in a female patient that was characterized by bone marrow edema involving the whole femoral head and the majority of …

The outcome of hyperbaric oxygen therapy versus core decompression in the non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head: Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Core decompression (CD) has been used in the treatment of pre-collapse stages avascular necrosis (AVN) with good results. Hyperbaric oygen therapy (HBO) was used as a non-invasive treatment for pre-collapse stages osteonecrosis with favorable results. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of HBO versus CD in stage II of non-traumatic AVN of the femoral head. Methods: Data …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ameliorates osteonecrosis in patients by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress

ABSTRACTEarly stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) can be conservatively treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This study investigated how HBOT modulates inflammatory markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in patients with AVNFH. Twenty-three male patients were treated with two cycles of HBOT, 30 sessions each with a 30 days break between …
