ABSTRACT
The growing interest in the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in medicine prompted us to analyse the available research reviews and meta-analyses and to systematize data on hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The second part of the article presents the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of burns and skin grafts, difficult-to-heal wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, air embolism, decompression sickness, anaemia, genitourinary disorders, carbon monoxide poisoning, chronic osteomyelitis, gas gangrene, radiation necrosis and anal fistulas.
