Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of soft tissue necrosis due to centipede bite in a patient with diabetes.
Journal of Wound Care 2022 July 3
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an option for the management of rapidly progressive tissue necrosis after centipede bites in patients with diabetes.
METHOD: In this case report, we introduce a patient with diabetes with soft tissue necrosis and secondary infection due to a centipede bite, who was treated with a multidisciplinary approach including HBOT.
RESULTS: In this case study, HBOT, applied in the treatment of rapidly developing cellulitis after a centipede bite in a patient with diabetes, accelerated wound healing. Deep soft tissue infection stopped progression to necrotising fasciitis and prevented possible amputation, and facilitated the patient's return to social life in a short time.
CONCLUSION: HBOT can be used in combination with other local and systemic, due to its anti-venom effect and treatment of extremity-threatening infection.
