Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 10/21/09
Cimsit M et al. – HBOT is used as either a primary or adjunctive treatment in the management of infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, diabetic foot infections, refractory osteomyelitis, neurosurgical infections and fungal infections. HBOT acts as a bactericidal/bacteriostatic agent against anerobic bacteria by increasing the formation of free oxygen radicals. HBOT restores the bacterial–killing capacity of leukocytes in hypoxic wounds by increasing tissue oxygen tensions.
