ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation(HBO) and routine therapy on diabetic foot. Methods Thirty six subjects were randomized to HBO and routine groups. In HBO group,patients stayed in 0.25 MPa HBO chamber for 100 min,wearing masks and inhaling pure oxygen for 60 min,with 10 min interval.This treatment was performed once a day for 10 times as a course,altogether 2 courses for each patient.By means of hemorrheology and electromyograghy (EMG), and the color Doppler ultrasonograghy of lower extremities for detection of the microcirculation states of lower limbs, thirty six patients with diabetic foot were assessed. Results In HBO group all of patients showed that the abnormalities in hemorrheologic, EMG parameters, and the arteria lesions as revealed by Doppler ultrasonograghy were improved more or less compared with before the treatment( P
