4/16/2016 Adjunct HBO2 Therapy: An Essential Tool For The Care DFUs? ___________________________________________________________ Other significant shortcomings: � Study’s use of photographic adjudication whether a limb “met the criteria for amputation” rather than the use of actual amputation rates as an outcome measure. 1 � The fact that there may be patients who “met the criteria for major amputation” but who went on to heal undermines the conclusions of this study.

Elements of GRADE ___________________________________________________________ � Clear separation between quality of evidence and strength of recommendations � Explicit evaluation of the importance of outcomes � Explicit and comprehensive criteria for downgrading and upgrading the quality of evidence rating � Transparent system of moving from evidence to recommendations 2

Grade 2: Ulcer with deep structures involved: • ligament, tendon, joint capsule or fascia no active infection (abscess or osteomyelitis) • C. Grade 3: Ulcer with deep structures involved: • ligament, tendon, joint capsule or fascia + evidence of infection (abscess or osteomyelitis) • D. Grade 4: Gangrene to portion of forefoot E.

4/16/2016 Benefits of HBO 2 Adjunct HBO2 Therapy: An Essential Tool For The Care DFUs! ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Tissue oxygen tension restored to > 30 mmHg � required by Neutrophils to destroy bacteria by oxidative killing mechanisms (1,2) - Direct suppressive effect on anaerobic pathogens (3,4) � Augments transport of certain antibiotics across bacterial cell walls � - active transport of antibiotics (e.g. gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin) across bacterial cell walls does not occur if tissue oxygen tensions are below 20 to 30 mmHg (5) Enhances osteogenesis (6) � Reduces tissue edema (7) � Promotes capillary angiogenesis (8) � � Prevents polymorphonuclear leukocytes from adhering to damaged blood vessel linings - decreases the degree of inflammation which may accompany the surgical treatment of refractory osteomyelitis � Can reduce treatment costs of complicated refractory osteomyelitis by approximately 5x 1987 estimated per case costs reduced from $115,000 to $20,000 (9) - Benefits of HBO 2 : References Adjunct HBO2 Therapy: An Essential Tool For The Care DFUs! ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Hohn DC.
