About Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) Therapy
The Comprehensive Wound & Vascular Center at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Denton offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) using clear, acrylic, single-person hyperbaric chambers. During HBO therapy, patients breathe 100% pure oxygen while the atmospheric pressure is increased two to two and a half times that at sea level. This process enhances the body's natural healing by increasing the oxygen level of the tissue and stimulating new blood vessel growth, as well as strengthening the immune system to kill bacteria in wounds. The typical hyperbaric treatment lasts approximately two hours, and the number of treatments depends on the wound, averaging between 30 and 60 sessions. Guests can watch DVDs or television during the treatment. Baylor Scott & White Health uses oxygen therapy to treat hard-to-heal wounds associated with diabetes and diabetic neuropathy, soft-tissue damage from skin grafts, and cancer radiation therapy, and to help salvage limbs. The program in Dallas has both monoplace (single) and multiplace chambers. Baylor University Medical Center is nationally certified and accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society. This designation signifies that the wound care center meets the highest standards of care and patient safety, and that the facility, equipment, staff, and training are of the utmost quality. Conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include diabetic wounds in the foot/lower extremity, radiation-related wounds, chronic osteomyelitis (bone infections), compromised skin grafts, peripheral arterial insufficiency, crush injuries of the extremities, and necrotizing infections. The center also offers wound dressings, negative pressure wound therapy, debridement, bioengineered skin substitutes, pulsatile lavage, growth factors, total contact casting, compression therapy, support surface recommendations, transcutaneous oxygen testing, diabetic limb salvage, and assistance with home healthcare coordination. Wound Evolution in Dallas provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a non-invasive outpatient procedure. During treatment, patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized room, where oxygen levels are three times higher than normal air pressure. This allows the lungs to gather more oxygen, supporting the natural healing process and speeding up recovery. They treat atypical wounds, bone infections, burn wounds, chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers and wounds, non-healing surgical wounds, infected wounds, pilonidal cysts, pressure ulcers, surgical wound complications, venous and arterial ulcers, and venous leg ulcers.
