Preface
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a well-known traditional treatment method for patients with tissue hypoxia. It improves tissue oxygen levels and brings increased capacity of wound healing/tissue remodeling. It also revitalizes the cell activity to increase survival and modulates anti-inflammatory/immunological function of immune cells, which leads to the recovery of hosts from severe infection. The application of HBO therapy has a wide range of choices including carbon monoxide poisoning, infectious diseases refractory to regular antibiotics treatment such as necrotizing soft tissue infections, gas gangrene and osteomyelitis, traumatic ischemia, crush injury, diabetic foot, and so on. It can also be applied for curing divingrelated disorders such as gas embolism and decompression illness; in such cases, HBO is used as a specialized method of treatment named recompression therapy. However, HBO therapy is not a dream-like therapy but a complementary one to support other treatment methods or express effects in cooperation with other treatment options. Then why does HBO bring successful outcome in p
