What Researchers Did
Researchers presented a case report of a 52-year-old patient with a nonhealing diabetic foot ulcer who had received hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
The patient, who had received hyperbaric oxygen therapy, presented with a nonhealing ulcer despite normal pedal pulses and adequate transcutaneous partial oxygen pressure levels. Following a course of oral antibiotics, appropriate topical wound care, and offloading instructions, the wound healed within 3 months.
