Treatment of a forearm cut wound using localised hyperbaric oxygen therapy – a case report
Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2017, Vol 71, Issue
Abstract
The treatment of hard-to-heal wounds is still a serious interdisciplinary medical problem. In recent years, modern methods of physical medicine have been increasingly and successfully used to treat diseases and traumas of locomotor organs, soft tissues and chronic wounds. The paper presents the beneficial effect of the treatment of a postoperative wound in a 7-year-old patient with a cut injury to the right forearm using localised hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A series of 10 daily treatments led to complete healing of the wound after the performed surgery, provided pain relief, and improved the quality of life of the patient resulting from the recovery of unaided existence.
