“…Some non dressing approaches to wound healing exist. These generally centre on negative pressure therapy (115,116), hyperbaric oxygen (117), topical oxygen delivery (118) and warm‐up therapies (119). Other approaches including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound and various skin grafting techniques (e.g.…”

Over the past 30 years as caregivers, clinicians have been exposed to a plethora of new advanced wound dressings. The moist wound care revolution began in the 1970s with the introduction of film and hydrocolloid dressings, and today these are the traditional types of dressings of the advanced dressing categories. Wound-healing science has progressed significantly over the same period, as a result of intense clinical and scientific research around these product introductions. Today, the clinician understands moist wound healing, occlusion, cost effectiveness, wound bed preparation and MMP activity to name but a few of the many concepts in wound care that have flourished as a result of technology and product advancement. This review article presents a condensed history of dressing development over the past 30 years. However, in addition, such advancement is discussed in respect to its adoption in different parts of the world. The largest single markets of the world are generally the United States of America and Europe; as such, the development of both practice and technology generally begins there. Much has been written about these markets in previous review articles. For the purposes of this review, the development of wound care and the maturing of practice is discussed in respect to Canada, Japan and Australia representing smaller geographical areas where the development has been more recent but nonetheless significant.

“…The volume of oxygen dissolved in plasma, however, has a linear relationship with alveolar oxygen and rises in proportion to the increased alveolar partial pressure (Henry's law). When the oxygen partial pressures approaches 100%, as are commonly administered to the trauma victim, the dissolved oxygen concentration rises to approximately 2 mL/100 mL of oxygenated blood (Rowe, 2001). HBO treatment takes this process further.…”

“…The distance of oxygen diffusion through tissue fluids is proportional to the square root of the oxygen concentration in the source capillary (Rowe, 2001). At 2 ATA pressure, the diffusion distance of oxygen through tissue fluids is increased by a factor of three (Kindwall et al, 1991).…”

This review explains the method of action of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy and examines the evidence for its use in trauma. Methods of delivery, complications and contra-indications are discussed. It is acknowledged that there are few controlled trials which evaluate the efficacy of HBO in this indication; supporting evidence for its efficacy is mainly in the form of case reports, or by implication from laboratory and animal work. Lack of evidence may not equate to lack of efficacy, but may reflect the difficulties in coordinating clinical trials involving critically ill patients and a complex treatment modality, the availability of which is not widespread. The adjunctive use of HBO has shown promising results in the treatment of crush injury. Consideration of tissue pathophysiology suggests that such an approach may also offer improved outcomes in the broader spectrum of trauma scenarios involving marginally viable tissues with compromised perfusion.
