Notes: What is HBOT

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is 100% oxygen at 2.0 atmospheres to 3.0 atmosphere of pressure. This causes the creation of angiogenesis and increased blood flow to areas that are compromised. This therapy is used in many areas of wound care such as: carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, diabetic ulcers, necrotizing fasciitis, cyanide poisoning, compromised graft or flaps, crush injuries or compartment syndrome, arterial insufficiencies, radiation necrosis and acute thermal burns.
