Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ([IBOT) is used in its treatment basedon physico-chemicaland haemodynamicconsiderations. To assessits role total a study was conducted at the Institute of Naval Medicine in an age matched group.30 patients were evaluated in the p a randomized study. Study group consistedof 13 males and two females(Mean age 63.1 + 8.74) . Control group TI consistedof three femalesand 12 males (mean age 67 + 9.81). Both groups were given standard antibiotic and fema surgical care. Diabetic foot was graded as per Wagener's classification.Study group was pressurisedto 2.8 ATA using 1007o oxygen for one hour. Controls were pressurisedto the samedepth but using 7.57ooxygen and 92.5 5l-7. 7o nitrogen asthe breathing mixture . The overall outcomewas significantly better in the study group as compared groul to controls (p < 0.01).86.67oin the study group either healedor improved comparedto 46.7Toin controls. 53.97o age! of Wagener's grade I-III in the control group either healedor improved.
