Smoking Cessation
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is designed to increase oxygen delivery to local ischemic tissue by having a patient breathe 100% oxygen at greater than normal sea level atmospheric pressure. To test the hypothesis that a defined course of intermittent increased tissue concentrations of oxygen will result in a reduction in amputation rates, we performed a retrospective analysis of 469 consecutive patients with diabetes treated at a referral wound care center over a 33 month period. Eighty-seven patients received an average of 19±13 HBO treatments while 382 received "standard care" only, including revascularization, debridement, glycemic control, antibiotics, offloading, dietary modification, smoking cessation, and autologous platelet derived growth factors. Patients referred for HBO (X ± SE) had larger wounds (2533 ± 987 vs. 1199 ± 61 mm3), more wounds per patient (3.8 vs. 2.4), and a greater percentage recommended for amputation (31% vs. 19% p=0.002). Despite having the more serious wounds, the limb salvage rate was greater in the HBO patients (72% vs. 53% p<0.002).
