Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that enhances the body's natural healing processes by breathing 100% oxygen in a closed chamber while the pressure is increased to at least 1.4 atmospheres under control. Therapeutic effects of hyperbaric oxygen include 1- Reconstruction of capillaries and thus improving blood flow to the wound site. 2- Arterial contraction and as a result, reduction of tissue inflammation. 3- Antimicrobial effects, especially anaerobic microbes that are common and resistant to refractory wounds. 4- Modification of the body's defence system against infections is all that these effects are necessary for the treatment of resistant wounds.
