Treating Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Necrotizing (flesh-eating bacteria) tissue infections cause accelerated tissue damage. HBOT in combination with other medical treatments such as surgical intervention and antibiotics can aid in the treatment of these types of infections. HBOT is bactericidal to anaerobes and facultative anaerobes, anti-inflammatory, boosts effects of antibiotics, enhances natural immunity, and improves all stages of wound healing.
