DURAN PINILLA, EDUARDO; BUITRAGO SALINAS, ALEJANDRO  e  BAQUERO SASTRE, GERMÁN. RESULTS OF A PROGRAM OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF ARTERIAL ULCERS. rev.fac.med [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.2, pp.21-29. ISSN 0121-5256.

Chronic Occlusive Arterial Disease (COAD) is an entity that has a significant impact since over its pathophysiological mechanisms ischemia and hypoxia are generated thus devitalizing tissue elements and giving rise to disturbances with the appearance of integumentary ulcers that can be unmanageable and even lead to superinfection and subsequent amputation of limbs. However, it is not common in clinical treatment to administer hyperbaric oxygen therapy even though it might reverse the mechanisms of such pathophysiological disturbances. This work corresponds to a cross-sectional study carried out in the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit of the Central Military Hospital in 45 patients with mean age of 68 years who had arterial ulcers and underwent surgical procedures between 2004 and 2008. Fifty percent of patients received 20 sessions with a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres in 50% of cases, achieving a satisfactory evolution of the involved areas in 77.7% of cases (n = 35, standard error = 0.03)

Palavras-chave : Arterial disease; arterial ulcers; hyperbaric oxygen therapy; hyperbaric oxygen in arterial ulcers; arterial ulcers treatment.
