Necrotizing soft tissue infections involve bacterial invasion causing local tissue trauma, ischemia, and death. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy creates an inhospitable condition for anaerobic bacteria while boosting the body's immune response and tissue repair capabilities. HBOT kills Flesh Eating Disease, Necrotizing Fasciitis or necrotizing soft tissue infection.
Used as an adjunctive treatment alongside surgical debridement and antibiotics, HBOT significantly reduces mortality in severe necrotizing soft tissue infections.
