Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reported on the case of a 60-year-old woman with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) who received hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT).

What They Found

The patient underwent 5 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) at 243.1 kPa. Desquamation stopped after the first session, and re-epithelisation began rapidly, leading to discharge after 14 days.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

The primary limitation of this study is its design as a single case report, which prevents generalizable conclusions about treatment efficacy.
