HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION IN COMPLEX THERAPY OF WOUNDS OF CHILDREN

Objektive is to identify the place of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in complex therapy of children’s wounds. Materials and methods. The HBO method in complex therapy of wounds has been used for 106 children aged 9 ± 4,5. In the 1st group (n = 66) HBO was conducted at presurgery stage; in the 2nd group (n = 40) – at post-surgery stage. Therapeutic sessions were conducted in the intensive care altitude chamber Sechrist-3200 (USA), 10 (9,4 %) children were on artificial lungs ventilation. HBO sessions were carried out with pressure during the period of 1,2–1,5 АТА isopresssure, with course from 8 to 15 sessions. Findings. The use of HBO before surgery (1st group) promotes acceleration of demarcation of devitalized tissues, improvement of trophism of surviving tissues, which enables identification of surgical tactics in earlier stage and preparation for plastic closure. Use of HBO in post-surgery treatment of wounds (2nd group) increases the survival rate of mobilized and implanted tissues, stimulates marginal epithelialization, decreases soft tissues oedema, promotes formation of elastic cicatricial tissue and retention of traumatized limb function. Conclusion. Implementation of HBO sessions under conditions of reanimation altitude chamber proves to be an effective method in combination therapy of major wound defects in pre-surgery as well as post-surgery stages regardless of child’s condition and period of the wound.
