Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) improves wound healing for patients who have a crush injury. The comparison of the prospective intervention group to the retrospective matched cohort aims to show that HBO can improve wound healing and decrease poor outcomes for patients with crush injuries. The information gained from this small study will serve as a basis for a follow-up prospective, randomized control trial to further delineate the role of HBO in a larger patient population.
