nhealed wounds are a significant issue for patients with

multiple co-morbidities, leading quite often to disability

or severe decrease of quality of life. Patients should be offered

every possible treatment option of treatment to be able

to recover from their condition. Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen

Therapy (HBOT) in wound management is a well established

method worldwide, in UK it is still a developing option.

Based on multiple case reports and multicentre studies we

established inclusion criteria for HBOT for patients whose

wounds are not healed for longer than 6 weeks of standard

treatment. Patients are offered 30-40 sessions of HBOT daily

during 5 days working week. Their condition is reviewed

on a regular basis and alterations to the plans apply when

appropriate.

Based on literature search and our experiencewe can say that

HBOT is a very effective and cost efficient method supporting

wound healing. Careful inclusion end exclusion review of

patients is important to avoid unnecessary risk of side effects

and ensure effectiveness of the treatment.
