摘要：I would like to share the interim results of my article,the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on healing of chronic leg ulcers. Chronic leg ulcers are a source of major concern for both patients and health-care systems. HBOT is a newer treatment modality being used in treatment of chronic leg ulcers. Treatment involves placing the patient in a compression chamber,increasing the pressure within the chamber to 02 atmospheres absolute (ATA),and administering 100% oxygen for respiration. “But how effective are these? Does HBOT increase rate of healing in people with chronic leg ulcers?” are common research question. Hence,we conducted this study at our center to assess the effectiveness of HBOT on healing of chronic leg ulcers as an adjunct to standard wound care when compared to standard wound care alone.
