“…Benefits for neck surgery have been observed with supplemental oxygen therapy, however the literature accounts for hyperbaric oxygenation reviews. [42][43][44][45] Moreover, there is only one publication (case report) demonstrating the efficacy of topical oxygen in the (lateral) neck region. 46 On behalf of these limitations, we included an objective modality to evaluate scar reduction in a RCT.…”

Background: Dressing materials are known to influence post-operative surgical wound healing and scar formation (SF). A particular dressing that could promote wound hydration is essential to ensure quick epithelialization and reduce SF. This study examined the effectiveness of a novel Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen (CDO) dressing to reduce scar length post cervicotomy.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed in patients undergoing cervicotomy, either for thyroid or parathyroid disease. Patients were randomized to either control (CG) or intervention (IG) groups. The IG received a portable CDO system (TransCu O2, EO2 Concepts Inc., TX, USA), whereas the CG received a standard dressing for a 4-week period. The primary outcome was > 10% of scar length reduction and %change in scar length.Results: 21 patients were recruited (Age: 53 ± 16 years; 90% female; CG = 9, IG = 12). 5 patients were lost to follow-up. At 4 weeks, 88.8% of the IG significantly achieved > 10% of scar reduction (versus CG = 28.5%, d = 0.48, P = 0.049), showing a 40.4% smaller scar (15.7% versus 11.2%, d = 0.13, P = 0.72) compared to the CG. However, the difference was not significant. A sub-sample of patients undergoing thyroidectomy showed a significant scar reduction using CDO (IG = 11.6% versus CG = 5.1%, d = 2.96, P = 0.009).Conclusions: This is the first study to assess scar reduction using CDO adjunct therapy after cervicotomy. Advanced CDO dressings may assist wound healing showing improved out-

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a method supporting the treatment of many diseases. Oxygen therapy treatments are conducted in hyperbaric chambers, in which patients breathe pure, 100% oxygen with higher than atmospheric pressure. This allows to increase the amount of oxygen supplied to all cells of the body many times over. The treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy enables the patient to recover faster and be fully active, and also reduces the costs of standard treatment. The aim of the study was to summarize the possible applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The available literature in the PUBMED database was reviewed in September 2022 with the use of the phrases ‘hyperbaric oxygen therapy’, ‘therapeutic applications’. The indications for therapy in a hyperbaric chamber are all kinds of diseases, both acute and chronic. The method supports the nourishment and regeneration of cells and tissues of the organism, and also slows down the aging process. However, due to the possible side effects of such therapy, patients should be qualified for its use after a careful analysis of their clinical condition and coexisting diseases. To sum up: hyperbaric oxygen therapy is most often used in the treatment of skin diseases and injuries, burns, and peripheral vascular diseases.
