Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Burns - Frostbite
Traditionally, burn wounds are classified according to three different “degrees”, indicating the depth of the cellular destruction induced by the thermal energy transfer. Although this classification has the advantage of being relatively simple (and largely based on macroscopic indicators such as blisters, exudate, colour and sensitivity), it does not permit in all cases to make an accurate pre...
متن کاملTreatment of radiation proctitis with hyperbaric oxygen.

We report our experience with the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for radiation proctitis cases refractory to standard medical or laser therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS During the period 2000-2004, 10 patie...
متن کاملFrostbite in a mountain climber treated with hyperbaric oxygen: case report.
We describe a case of frostbite to all fingers of a mountain climber, treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). All fingers eventually healed to full function, with only some cosmetic deformity to the tip of the most severely affected finger. Because few cases of frostbite treated with HBO have been reported, we hope that such case reports will stimulate future research in this area. It is hoped th...
