OPTIMIZATION OF THE MEDICAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR THE WOUNDED USING THE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Abstract

Background. The use of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBO) in the program of medical rehabilitation of the wounded in a timely manner and according to the indications leads to an increase in cardio-respiratory syndrome indicators, improvement of microcirculation in damaged tissues, reduction of the healing time of postoperative scars. An integrated approach to the rehabilitation of the wounded with the use of HBO contributes to the reduction of treatment time for amputee prosthetics Aim. To optimize the rehabilitation program using the hyperbaric oxygenation method in a rehabilitation center, on the basis of studying the features of the clinical picture and the functional state of the wounded with the consequences of mineexplosive and gunshot wounds. Materials and Methods. Under the supervision there were 215 patients with amputation defects, aged 20 to 50 years, who were injured during the special military operation between March 2022 and June 2023. Results. The hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBO) resulted in faster healing and epithelialization of wounds, an active growth of granulations, expansion of the zone of viable tissues, and improvement of microcirculation. Conclusions. As a result of medical rehabilitation using the hyperbaric oxygenation method in the rehabilitation center, the most patients achieved the planned rehabilitation ePect.
