Transcutaneous Oxygen Measurement This non-invasive technique is used as an adjunctive screening tool to evaluate skin oxygenation to predict effectiveness of HBO therapy and healing probability of chronic wounds. TCOMS are also used to "map" microvascular oxygen levels in patients with unsalvageable limbs in order to assist the surgeon in determining appropriate amputation levels. |

Therapy HBO is the evidence based, systemic delivery of 100% oxygen at a level that is 2-3 times greater than atmospheric pressure in an enclosed acrylic chamber. Studies have shown a 25% increase in healing of problem wounds with the addition of adjunctive HBO therapy for appropriate patients. Healing time is also reduced initiating a more rapid return to a more productive lifestyle. |
