ulcer and chronic
complicationsof diabetesmellitusisone ofthe leading causesof Morbidity and amputation in patients
with diabetes. On the other hand, amputations in patients with diabetes are

purposeofthisstudy, an overview
of theuse ofhyperbaric oxygenin the treatment ofDiabetic foot.
Methodology: Present
study was done to review the literature in search of Persiandatabases such as ( Iranmedex, SID, Magiran)
and English databases such as ( EBSCO, Pub med, ProQuest , Google Scholars)
With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and diabetic foot
keywordsrelated to the years 1987 to
2012.
Results:Hyperbaric oxygenis
beneficial for diabetic ulcersand
Increases the oxygen level in tissue and healing mechanisms by angiogenesis,
collagen synthesis, increase the response of fibroblasts, blood vessels and
increases the antibacterial activity of leukocytes also has some side effects
such as toxicity with oxygen in the brain and lungs , barotraumas of the middle
ear, Myopia andseizures that forreduce the side effectsis recommended that patientsmonitored by doctors and nurses who do
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Conclusion: Results
showed that hyperbaric oxygen may reduce the risk of major amputation and
accelerates healing rate after one year but further studies should be treated
in the clinical trials done to ensure greater accuracy as the standard
