The development of a pressure ulcer (PU) following hospitalisation and immobility can lead to more severe complications, such as osteomyelitis. We report the case of a 60-year-old female patient with a PU complicated with osteomyelitis who was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The patient was diagnosed with an unstageable PU according to the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel classification. A total of 35 HBOT sessions were administered to manage her condition. HBOT is considered a safe and effective treatment for osteomyelitis and decreases mortality rate.
住院及活动受限后发生压疮(PU)可能导致更严重的并发症,如骨髓炎。我们报告一例60岁女性患者,其压疮并发骨髓炎,接受了高压氧治疗(HBOT)。根据欧洲压疮咨询小组的分类,该患者被诊断为不可分期的压疮。共进行了35次高压氧治疗以控制其病情。高压氧治疗被认为是治疗骨髓炎的一种安全有效的方法,可降低死亡率。
