Our specialized wound care team will discuss with you the cause of your wound and keep you informed throughout the healing process. They will provide information on how to care for your wound, recognize early warning signs of complications, and prevent wounds from happening again in the future. Because chronic wounds are often related to other medical conditions, your wound care team may communicate the latest progress report to your primary care or referring physician throughout your healing process.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
HBOT is a medical treatment for patients with serious, chronic wounds that need advanced wound care. You will lie down in a pressurized chamber (see image for reference) and breathe 100% oxygen for a short period of time. This forces large amounts of oxygen saturation to dissolve into your bloodstream and travel throughout your body to promote and accelerate the healing of your wounds.
HBOT is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Air or gas embolisms
- Bone infections
- Burns
- Chronic wounds caused by diabetes, circulatory problems, or other conditions
- Crush and other traumatic injuries that compromise blood supply to tissues
- Decompression sickness
- Gangrene
- Poisoning from carbon monoxide or cyanide
- Pressure sores
- Radiation treatment injuries or thermal burns
- Refractory osteomyelitis
- Skin grafts
- Wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, that have not healed with other therapies
HBOT is offered at our three Advanced Wound Centers: Hillcrest Medical Center, Hillcrest Hospital South and Hillcrest Hospital Pryor.
