Overview

Nonheal­­ing ulcers especial­ly in diabetes and critical limb ischemia are the source of major problems and financial costs for both patients and health systems. The causes of diabetic foot ulcers are multifactorial and involve neuropathy and angiopathy, lead­­ing to functional disturbances in the macrocirculation and skin microcirculation. The amputation occurs in about 20% of cases of diabetic foot ulcers. The incidence of amputations in this patient population is 15× higher and make up 50– 70% of all non-traumatic amputations. The main aim of patients, caregivers and healthcare payers should be a reduction of the high rate of major amputations. Despite advances in improv­­ing diabetes care there is still need to identify reserves in the form of new therapeutic strategies and methods. They undoubtedly include the systemic administration of hyperbaric oxygen, which accord­­ing to the cur­rent evidence seems to reduce the need for amputation and increase the number of completely healed wounds.
