Radiation ulcer treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray: case report and literature review.

To explore the effectiveness of a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray in radiation ulcer treatment. We reviewed the available literature and present a case report in which radiation ulcer was treated with a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray. After 30 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (2.4 ATA; 90 minutes each session) and administration of haemoglobin spray, the wounds showed gradual progress towards healing and a good granulating base was achieved. The wounds were closed after two months using a small split thickness skin graft. A combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray was effective as a short course of treatment for radiation ulcers.
