A

Feedback:

Hyperbaric oxygen is a treatment that has demonstrated improved wound healing in multiple types of injuries. It enhances wound healing by a number of mechanisms, including the increased killing of bacteria by neutrophils, impaired growth of anaerobic bacteria, and the promotion of angiogenesis.
