Integrating hyperbarîc oxygen therapy into multidiscîplinary management of diabetic finger infection: A case report

Alt ekstremite yaraları diyabetes mellitusun en ciddi ve sık komplikasyonlarından biridir. Bununla birlikte,el enfeksiyonları, nadir olmalarına rağmen, hastalığın diğer önemli sorunlarındandır. Diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonlarının tedavisinde multidisipliner yaklaşımın etkinliği kanıtlanmıştır. Hiperbarik oksijen tedavisi iyileşmeyen yaraların tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan yardımcı tedavi modalitelerinden birisidir. Bu yazının amacı parmak enfekiyonu olan bir diyabetik hastada multidisipliner yaklaşıma ek olarak kullanılan hiperbarik oksijen tedavisinin faydalarının rapor edilmesidir.

Diyabetik parmak enfeksiyonunun multidisipliner tedavisine hiperbarik oksijen tedavisinin entegre edilmesi: Bir olgu sunumu

Lower extremity wounds are one of the most frequent and serious complications of diabetes mellitus. However hand infections, though rare, are another challenging aspect of the disease. Multi-disciplinary approach has proved efficacy in the treatment of diabetic foot infections. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the adjunctive treatment modalities frequently used in patients with non-healing wounds. The objective of this paper was to report the additive effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of a finger infection in a diabetic patient.
