Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Used to enhance healing of wounds, particularly those that are difficult-to-heal or infected. During treatment, a patient lies in a special pressurized chamber of pure oxygen and breathes normally, which increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. Our doctors may use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat conditions such as:

• Air or gas embolisms

• Bone infections

• Burns

• Crush injuries and other traumatic injuries that compromise blood supply to tissues

• Decompression sickness

• Gangrene

• Poisoning from carbon monoxide or cyanide

• Pressure sores

• Radiation treatment injuries or thermal burns

• Refractory osteomyelitis

• Skin grafts

• Wounds that have not healed with other therapies, such as diabetic foot ulcers
