Acute Peripheral Ischemia

Acute Peripheral Ischemia Treatment with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy


 

Acute Peripheral Ischemia Treatment

Sudden onset loss of blood flow and oxygen can be caused by trauma, embolism, thrombosis, or even acute blood loss anemia. The result is a threat to limb (and possibly life) preservation. The role of hyperbaric oxygen in these scenarios is to reverse tissue hypoxia, decrease tissue edema, promote new blood vessel formation, and enhance collagen and tissue production.

The Healing Power of Hyperbaric Medicine

HBOT helps white blood cells kill bacteria, and help osteoclast clean up the dead and infected bone. Once the infection is under control and all the dead bone is gone, new bone is laid down by osteoclasts. These processes require high levels of oxygen to function optimally. HBOT also helps antibiotics work better, and in conjunction with some antibiotics, helps eradicate the biofilms that form in many of these cases.
