HBOT AND OSTEOMYELITIS
“Inflammation of the bone”: Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can play an integral role in the effective management of refractory osteomyelitis. Where Oxygen tension in osteomyelitic bone is low, HBOT is not only clinically effective but also significantly cost effective. Sixty to eighty-five-percent of patients who failed to respond to years of costly repetitive surgery and antibiotic care have had infections successfully arrested when HBOT was administered along with intensive surgical and antibiotic therapy.
