Conditions treated at London Hyperbaric and Wound Healing Centre

ELECTIVE INDICATIONS


Non-healing hypoxic wounds - More Info >>>>
HBO can restore a favourable cellular environment in which healing and anti-bacterial mechanisms are enhanced.  
Case Study
>>>>


Radiation bone necrosis (Osteoradionecrosis) -
More Info >>>>
HBO has been shown to stimulate growth of capillaries, fibroplast proliferation and collagen synthesis in the radiated bone and soft tissue.

Refractory osteomyelitis (Chronic Bone infection) - More Info >>>>
HBO is used as an adjunct to antibiotics, debridement, nutritional support and reconstructive surgery in cases of superficial, localized and diffuse Osteomyelitis.   
Case Study
>>>>

Severe haemorrhagic anaemia - More Info >>>>
The intermittent use of HBO dissolves enough oxygen in the plasma of severely anaemic patients to support basic metabolic needs until sufficient red blood cell counts are restored.

Acute Traumatic Peripheral Ischaemias - More Info>>>>

Acute traumatic peripheral ischaemias (ATPI) include conditions such as frostbite, crush injury, compartment syndrome, burns, threatened flaps and replantations.

Compromised skin flaps and grafts- More Info >>>>
Following ischaemia or vascular repair in cases where there has been decreased microcirculation or hypoxia, HBO maximizes the viability and final functional level of the compromised nerve and muscle tissue.

Severe thermal injury. (burns) More Info >>>>
HBO helps maintain microvascular integrity, minimizes edema and provides the substrate necessary to maintain viability. (HBO Recommended by the European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine but not treated at LHWHC as specialist burn treatment facilities not available on site)
