RESEARCH ARTICLE
Blood glucose levels in diabetic patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Marvin Heyboer III, MD, Susan M. Wojcik, PhD, Jason Swaby, MD, Tanner Boes, MD
Department of Emergency Medicine, Division of Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Care,
SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, New York U.S.
CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Marvin Heyboer
Objectives:
- Discuss a recent study that questions medical necessity of HBO2 ORN prophylaxis in the modern radiotherapy era.
- Describe an alternative treatment approach to localized mandibular ORN using an oral anti-oxidant multi-drug regimen.
- Summarize recent peer-reviewed literature that involves mandibular reconstruction using vascularized free flaps and in the absence of peri-operative HBO.
- Discuss the potential for HBO2 to overcome tumor hypoxia-mediated radio-resistance.
- To understand the correct staging and treatment of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws’.
- To learn of and the difference between the two protocols to treat Chronic Radiation Injured Tissue (CRIT) and to support the surgical treatment of Osteoradionecrosis (ORN).
- To understand the variability of serum glucose changes in diabetics undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
- To understand that HBO2 did not cause a clinically significant decrease in diabetic patient blood glucose levels and did not cause deleterious side effects or require any emergency care.
