| If you have a wound that has
not improved in two weeks or is not healing after
one month, the answer may be Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
(HBOT).Now available at Southeast Missouri Hospital’s
Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Center, HBOT
is a specialized treatment that has been proven
highly effective for a number of medical conditions.
The number of treatments required depends upon the
severity of the wound. |

patient breathes 100% oxygen while cradled in
a chamber pressurized to greater than sea level.
During treatment, patients can watch television,
listen to music or simply rest.
