Abstract | Introduction:
Trauma to the extremities is a common major health problem that requires special attention because it can have a dangerous impact on both the viability of the limb and the patient's life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an alternative therapy hypothesized to improve the prognosis in lower extremity trauma. Case presentation: Discussion:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves giving 100% oxygen in a chamber at pressures above atmospheric pressure (2-3 atm absolute [ATA]). It can increase oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues with vascular compromise, cytogenic and vasogenic edema, and cellular hypoxia caused by limb trauma. Conclusion:
