Key result
Current clinical evidence regarding the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on microvascular diabetic complications and metabolic profile remains limited and inconclusive, necessitating further studies.
HBOT achieved cure in 95% of malignant otitis externa cases; leaves open its adjunctive role pending controlled trials.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been suggested as a valuable addition to conventional treatment for a variety of indications, including delayed radiation injury, necrotizing soft tissue infections, and chronic wounds. By increasing the blood oxygen content, HBOT creates a favorable gradient for the diffusion of oxygen into the tissues. In hypoxic tissues, the enhanced oxygen supply has multiple effects that may benefit wound healing.
