Acute Ischemias

Crush Injury & Compartment Syndrome

Crush injuries and compartment syndrome threaten tissue through swelling and interrupted blood supply after trauma. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, FDA-approved as an adjunct, reduces post-ischaemic oedema, sustains oxygen to at-risk muscle and skin, and supports healing — improving the chance of saving threatened limbs and tissue.
