Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Is an Effective Adjunctive Therapy to Manage Treatment-Resistant Venous Leg Ulcers

We report five cases of venous leg ulcers (VLU) that were resistant to conservative therapy for 22–119 months and were eventually healed via hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). In one patient, VLU recurred four times and was managed using HBOT, each time. The VLU sizes ranged from 18 to 68 cm(2) befor...

description We report five cases of venous leg ulcers (VLU) that were resistant to conservative therapy for 22–119 months and were eventually healed via hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). In one patient, VLU recurred four times and was managed using HBOT, each time. The VLU sizes ranged from 18 to 68 cm(2) before HBOT. HBOT was administered at 2.0 atmospheres absolute with 100% oxygen for 60 min per session, five sessions a week during hospitalization. All VLUs healed after 17–66 sessions of HBOT.
