“…The only absolute contraindication of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an untreated pneumothorax. The relative contraindications include upper respiratory infections, history of thoracic or ear surgery, emphysema with CO 2 retention, pregnancy, claustrophobia, low threshold for seizures and bleomycin therapy [21,22].…”

The diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is among chronic complications of diabetes mellitus; it can affect individuals with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetic patients have up to a 25% lifetime risk of developing DFS, which is both a medical and social problem. Several studies have indicated that, apart from pharmacotherapy and modern active wound dressings, physical medicine also has a role in prevention and management of diabetic foot ulcers. The paper presents physical medicine interventions most recognized in the conservative management of DFS.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Late Radiation Tissue Injury in Gynecologic Malignancies

et al. 2011

Background: Late radiation tissue injury is a serious complication of radiotherapy for patients with gynecologic malignancies. Strategies for managing pain and other clinical features have limited efficacy; however, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) may be an effective option for some patients. Methods: In a systematic review of the literature, the Ovid medline, embase, Cochrane Library, National Guidelines Clearinghouse, and Canadian Medical Association Infobase databases were searched to June 2009 for clinical practice guidelines, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, or other relevant evidence. Studies that did not evaluate soft tissue necrosis, cystitis, proctitis, bone necrosis, and other complications were excluded. Results: Two randomized trials, eleven nonrandomized studies, and five supporting documents comprise the evidence base. In addition, information on the harms and safety of treatment with HBO2 were reported in three additional sources. There is modest direct evidence and emerging indirect evidence that the use of HBO2 is broadly effective for late radiation tissue injury of the pelvis in women treated for gynecologic malignancies. Conclusions: Based on the evidence and expert consensus opinion, (1) HBO2 is likely effective for late radiation tissue injury of the pelvis, with demonstrated efficacy specifically for radiation damage to the anus and rectum; (2) the main indication for HBO2 therapy in gynecologic oncology is in the management of otherwise refractory chronic radiation injury; (3) HBO2 may provide symptomatic benefit in certain clinical settings (for example, cystitis, soft-tissue necrosis, and osteonecrosis); (4) and HBO2 may reduce the complications of gynecologic surgery in patients undergoing surgical removal of necrosis.

“…In 1879, Fontaine performed surgeries in a pressurised mobile operating room. 3 However, HBOT use was not substantiated by any evidence or scientific proof. In 1860, it was introduced in North America by Dr Orville J Cunningham who started treating Spanish Influenza cases in the hyperbaric chamber.…”

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for centuries but it has been accorded more scientific reasoning only recently. Ophthalmic applications of this therapy is an off label use of hyperbaric oxygen but results of its use in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion and many other devastating ocular infections is paving the way for increasing acceptability by ophthalmologists. Recent protocols of therapy are being enunciated and safer hyperbaric chambers are being manufactured to help patients and doctors use this hereto underutilised modality of treatment.
