Trauma to a limb leads to direct tissue damage and local hypoxia due to edema, resulting in acute traumatic peripheral ischemia. The trauma can vary from mild to irreversible and may involve major blood vessels and nerve injuries. For severe injuries, amputations may be required. Sometimes, vascular repair and reimplantation are viable options. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, and techniques involved in performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients undergoing this procedure.
