Advanced Treatments in Wound Care

$129.99 Standard

Oxygen is an important component in wound healing. It contributes to a number of crucial processes including immune response, fibroblast replication, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. Wounded tissue requires far more oxygen to stabilize and heal than intact tissue. Both hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and transdermal continuous oxygen (TCO) therapy contribute additional oxygen to support wound healing. Understanding the differences and similarities between these therapies assists clinicians in choosing which modality may be the best fit for patient goals and clinical outcomes.

Here's What You'll Learn


Oxygen and the healing process 
  • Review oxygen as a molecule and the history of oxygen for medical use 
  • Discuss the role of oxygen in the wound healing process 
  • Limitations in routine blood oxygen transport to the wound site including disease processes that complicate this process 
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 
  • Review the history of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and medical organizations that represent its use 
  • Establish the definition of hyperbaric oxygen compared to other forms of oxygen delivery  
  • Discuss devices for the delivery of hyperbaric oxygen and how patient selection for a mono place vs a multiplace chamber may occur 
  • Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen must qualify by their medical status, comorbidities, and indications for use 
  • Examination approved therapeutic indications vs off-label uses of hyperbaric oxygen 
Transcutaneous Oxygen Therapy 
  • What is TCO and how does this differ from other forms of oxygen used in medical care? 
  • Techniques and devices for the delivery of TCO vary, and can include multiple devices 
  • Discuss current limitations in the use of TCO 
  • Review emerging evidence on healing outcomes and ulcer recidivism in the use of TCO therapy
