| Abstract: | Oxygen is essential for the epithelialization and contraction of the burn wound as well as for the collagen maturation and synthesis. Inspiration of pure oxygen or employing hyperbaric oxygen might delay wound healing due to an intensive vasoconstriction. The accumulated data suggest a beneficial effect of topical oxygen on the wound healing process of burns. |
