Abstract:
Unhealed wounds are a significant issue for patients with
multiple co-morbidities, leading quite often to disability
or severe decrease of quality of life. Patients should be offered
every possible treatment option of treatment to be able
to recover from their condition. Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT) in wound management is a well established
method worldwide, in UK it is still a developing option.
Based on multiple case reports and multicentre studies we
established inclusion criteria for HBOT for patients whose
wounds are not healed for longer than 6 weeks of standard
treatment. Patients are offered 30-40 sessions of HBOT daily
during 5 days working week. Their condition is reviewed
on a regular basis and alterations to the plans apply when
appropriate.
Based on literature search and our experience we can say that
HBOT is a very effective and cost efficient method supporting
wound healing. Careful inclusion end exclusion review of
patients is important to avoid unnecessary risk of side effects
and ensure effectiveness of the treatment.
