Abstract
The use of hyperbaric oxygen has been advocated as a method of improving survival of ischemic flaps. Experiments were done in the pig using modern flap designs and hyperbaric oxygen protocols that have been reported to be effective in rodents. The results of these experiments indicate that hyperbaric oxygen is not effective in improving flap survival in the pig.Keywords
