This chapter from the UHMS Hyperbaric Oxygen Indications Manual, "Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Treatment of Thermal Burns," details the significant evidence supporting HBOT for thermal injuries. Animal and human studies show HBOT prevents dermal ischemia, reduces oedema, modulates the zone of stasis, prevents burn depth progression, preserves cellular metabolism, dampens inflammation, prevents infection, and promotes healing. Clinical reports indicate reduced mortality, shorter hospital stays, fewer surgeries, and decreased costs. HBOT's mechanisms include improved oxygen delivery, angiogenesis, and reduced oxidative stress. While some studies show limitations or mixed results, numerous clinical experiences and reviews advocate for HBOT as a valuable adjunct to standard burn care, particularly for serious burns. Early and consistent treatment is recommended, alongside careful patient selection and monitoring.
