This video explores Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) as an adjunct treatment in wound healing, plastic surgery, and dermatology. HBO involves breathing 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, significantly increasing oxygen dissolved in blood plasma. Normal wound healing is a complex sequence requiring oxygen for collagen production, cell migration, and new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis). Chronic wounds often fail to heal due to underlying issues like poor circulation, diabetes, infection, or stress, frequently resulting in tissue hypoxia (low oxygen) or ischemia (reduced blood flow).

HBO directly combats tissue hypoxia by delivering super-oxygenated blood. It stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen and enhances their migration. High oxygen levels boost the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, crucial for infected wounds. HBO promotes epithelialization (skin regrowth) and vital neoangiogenesis (new vessel growth), accelerating wound closure. Monitoring tissue oxygen pressure (TCPO2) helps assess responsiveness to HYPE

HBO is a recognised adjunct for conditions like severe diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), particularly Wagner grade 3 or higher, helping limb salvage. It significantly improves survival rates of compromised skin flaps and grafts in plastic surgery and is used in severe burns to reduce healing time, complications, and mortality. It also aids healing in some arterial ulcers, frostbite, and can be explored for select infected wounds and specific dermatology conditions. It's crucial to understand HBO is rarely a standalone treatment, but rather part of a comprehensive care plan, and research continues to solidify its role and protocols across various applications.RBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY.
