The Latest Development in Treating Chronic Wounds - a podcast by Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) will be available at Henry Mayo by summer 2017. HBOT is a therapy that enhances the body's natural healing process by putting the patient in an enclosed environment in which he or she inhales 100% oxygen.

The result is that the amount of oxygen in the patient's blood is increased, which in turn restores the normal levels of blood gases and tissue function to promote healing and fight infection. HBOT is an effective therapy that is used to supplement other advanced wound care treatments.

Henry Mayo's Wound Care Services proudly reports a 90 percent success rate for healing diabetic or pressure ulcers and other hard-to-heal wounds.

Listen in as Brian Downs, DO discusses HBOT and the wound care services at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.
