Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Management of Selected Wounds

Article Abstract:

Hyperbaric therapy was used in the 19th century, when compressed air compartments were first used to help facilitate the construction of tunnels and bridge piers in marshy ground. The technology was adopted by the medical community and the prolonged use of hyperbaric air to hyperoxygenate the blood was popularized in Cleveland and Kansas City. The man behind the spread of the technique, Orval Cunningham, believed many diseases were caused by anaerobic bacteria.

The Physiology of Wound Healing

Article Abstract:

Wound healing, a biological process initiated by trauma and terminated by scar formation, involves three stages of repair. These phases are lag, proliferative, and remodeling. The repair process in crucial for survival and in some lower animals, the process does not involve scar formation, but rather, regeneration. Higher animals, however, experience scar formation.
