Published: April 2014

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a rich and diverse history, both in the United States and around the world. From its early uses in war to the building of bridges, and through many introductions to innovations in the medical community, it has been debated and modified until its ultimate acceptance in multiple areas of patient care. Numerous areas of patient care use hyperbaric therapy, from wound care to military applications, in both single monoplace chambers and multipatient settings in larger chambers. This article provides an overview on the history, trial and error, and modern development of hyperbaric oxygen in clinical care therapies in 21st century medicine and nursing.

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 325035, China.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of chronic diabetes mellitus. Oxygen plays a critical role in the healing process of DFU wounds by promoting cell migration and neovascularization. However, clinical hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy predominantly uses systemic oxygen administration, posing challenges in inadequate DFU local oxygen penetration and potential ectopic organs oxygen toxicity.
