Thermal Burns
and Radiation Tissue Damage: The early use of HBO in the treatment
of skin and deep tissue burns, has ben demonstrated to limit the
area and depth of subsequent necrosis. This must be combined with
conventional resuscitation and treatment of the burned patient.
However particular attention must be given to ensuring correct
hydration.
Diabetic Wounds
and Circulatory Efficiency Enhancement: It is estimated that 7.2% of
all hospitalizations in the USA involve diabetes with more than 20%
of these due to peripheral vascular disease and its related tissue
damage.
Although HBOT
may not be of sufficient benefit in the most extreme cases, its
benefit in the marginally perfused wound may be significant. The
increased wound Oxygen tension achieved with HBOT promotes wound
healing, increases the host anti-microbial defenses and has a direct
bacteriostatic effect on anaerobic micro-organisms.
Intra-Cranial Abcess: The beneficial theraputic effects of HBOT are
derived from the predominantly anaerobic flora found in ICA’s, the
reduction of a perifocal brain swelling, the enhancement of host
defense mechanisms and the well documented beneficial effects in
cases of concomitant skull osteomyelitis.
Brain Injury and other Head Trauma: HBOT has proven to be beneficial
in many cases for this condition. New case studies showing promising
results have been recently published. The immediate application of
HBOT is recommended as there is an immediate result in the reduction
of edema.
Cerebral Palsy: This condition has proven to be beneficial in many
cases. New case studies showing promising results have been recently
published. Several states have recently approved HBOT as a auxiliary
treatment.
