Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is an adjunctive wound care therapy used to enhance the healing of certain problem wounds. Delivery of this therapy involves a patient to breathe 100% oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. This stimulates many physiological responses in the cells and tissues, promoting wound healing.
