Abstract
|
|
|
Encouraging results are observed during the hyperbaric oxygen treatment in many cases due to the inhibitary action on certain bacteria, and the relief of relative hypoxia in the damaged tissue by oxygen absorption through the lesion, resulting in accelerated metabolism in the damaged tissue, stimulation of capillary growth, and stimulation of granulation and epithelium formation.
Hyperbaric oxygen is not a panacea. If used judiciously in suitable cases, it can be of enormous help to the patient and to the doctor, reducing suffering and enabling reablement to be started earlier.
The procedure was well tolerated by all patients, and no adverse reactions were noted.
