高压氧疗法
Oxygen is an essential ingredient in wound healing. By supplying your body with extra oxygen, you enhance your ability to rebuild tissue and fight infections. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you will sit in a special chamber that is pressurized with high oxygen levels, allowing your lungs to absorb more oxygen than normal. The treatment lasts approximately two hours, and most patients require several visits to aid in the healing of their wound.
Indicators for hyperbaric oxygen therapy may include:
-
-
- Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
- Soft tissue radionecrosis and osteonecrosis
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- 挤压伤
- Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
- Progressive necrotizing infection/fasciitis
- Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
