Background




                      • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) improves
                         outcome in selected wounds

                         – Mechanisms:

                             • Oxidant effects of oxygen
                             • Biologic processes for which O2 is rate-limiting
                         – Effects are systemic

                      • Topical oxygen may also benefit healing
