Gas Gangrene

Gas gangrene is a serious infection secondary to the gas forming bacteria Clostridium. This bacteria contaminates the wound and allows gas to get trapped under the skin, killing body tissue. Symptoms, such as high fevers, blisters, and continuous inflammation, oftentimes appear quickly and get worse within a short amount of time.

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat gas gangrene aims to keep swelling down and bacteria from spreading to other parts of the body.
