Abstract: The unpredictable course followed by severe, chronic, non-healing wounds not only restricts the daily activities of affected patients, but also impairs their quality of life (QOL). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment for such wounds elevates tissue oxygen content, increases cellular repair functions and the probability of wound healing, and improves the patient's QOL. This was a longitudinal, prospective study, and used a purposive sampling method. A total of 15 patients receiving HBOT at a medical cent… Show more

“…Another microsphere system using PLGA and H 2 O 2 /poly(2-vinlypyrridione) liberated approximately 150 mmHg P O2 into a sealed container over several days [52]. Clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy maintains oxygen pressure at 2.5 times that of atmospheric oxygen for 30 to 120 min, and systemic oxygen levels in the patient are elevated afterward for some time [53]. This exposure must be closely administered since hyperbaric oxygen therapy can lead to complications such as ruptured ear drums, sinus and lung damage, vision changes, and most seriously, oxygen poisoning, which can permanently damage the lungs and the central nervous system [54].…”
