Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a therapy in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen while enclosed in a pressurized chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. While breathing pure oxygen, the patient’s blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 15 to 20 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body’s tissues. The ultimate result is the body’s natural wound-healing mechanisms, which are oxygen dependent, are able to function more efficiently. About 18% of wound care patients treated may be candidates for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
