Conditions
treated at London Hyperbaric and Wound Healing Centre
Non-healing
hypoxic wounds - More
Info >>>>
HBO can restore a favourable cellular environment in which healing and
anti-bacterial mechanisms are enhanced.
Case Study>>>>
Radiation bone necrosis (Osteoradionecrosis) -
More
Info >>>>
HBO has been shown to stimulate growth of capillaries, fibroplast proliferation
and collagen synthesis in the radiated bone and soft tissue.
Refractory
osteomyelitis (Chronic Bone infection) - More
Info >>>>
HBO is used as an adjunct to antibiotics, debridement, nutritional support
and reconstructive surgery in cases of superficial, localized and diffuse
Osteomyelitis.
Case Study>>>>
Severe
haemorrhagic anaemia - More
Info >>>>
The intermittent use of HBO dissolves enough oxygen in the plasma of severely
anaemic patients to support basic metabolic needs until sufficient red
blood cell counts are restored.
Acute
Traumatic Peripheral Ischaemias - More
Info>>>>
Acute
traumatic peripheral ischaemias (ATPI) include conditions such as frostbite,
crush injury, compartment syndrome, burns, threatened flaps and replantations.
Compromised
skin flaps and grafts- More
Info >>>>
Following
ischaemia or vascular repair in cases where there has been decreased microcirculation
or hypoxia, HBO maximizes the viability and final functional level of
the compromised nerve and muscle tissue.
Severe
thermal injury. (burns) More
Info >>>>
HBO helps maintain microvascular integrity, minimizes edema and provides
the substrate necessary to maintain viability. (HBO Recommended by the
European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine but not treated at LHWHC as
specialist burn treatment facilities not available on site)
Other conditions which have been successfully treated and funded by
the NHS at our Wound Healing Centre include;
