Date & Location
Occurs monthly on the 4th Tuesday starting on 1/26/2021 at 8:00 AM
Tuesday, January 26, 2021, 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM, EDW Hyperbaric Room/Wound Center, Naperville, IL

Overview
Wounds need oxygen to heal properly. Exposing a wound to 100% oxygen may speed healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used for certain types of wounds such as radiation injuries, infections, burns, skin grafts and flaps, crush injuries, and diabetes related wounds. It has also been approved for air or gas embolisms, anemia due to severe blood loss, brain and sinus infections, carbon monoxide poisoning, low blood flow in the arteries, and gas gangrene to name a few. This monthly conference is dedicated to the advancement of the practice of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine. Each conference will revolve around a topic involving the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for the treatment of approved conditions. The format of each conference may vary between didactic lectures, journal clubs, or case reviews.
