Ulcers are open sores on the skin (or a mucous membrane) that cause destruction of surface tissue. This contamination usually does not affect the healing process. Anaerobic bacteria such as bacteroides, clostridium and streptococcus may be active at deeper levels of the dermis, insulated from the healing influence of oxygen. Symptoms of septicemia and septic shock are sudden onset of illness, high fever, chills, rapid breathing, headache, and altered mental state. If the infection is identified promptly and the patient is treated aggressively (in an intensive care facility), full recovery from sepsis is possible. Wound Treatment Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used to treat very serious wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments have been found to increase the rate of collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and bacterial clearance. |
