AB  - A  chronic  wound  is  defined  as  a  wound  that  has  failed  to  progress  through  the  stages  of  healing  in  an  orderly  fashion  to  produce  anatomic  tissue  integrity  and  restored  functional  capability.1  Many  factors  are  recognized  as  contributing  to  wound  chronicity,  but  impaired  tissue  perfusion  that  results  in  poor  tissue  oxygenation  and  tissue  hypoxia  is  often  at  the  top  of  the  list.  This  chapter  will  discuss  the  importance  of  oxygen  in  wound  healing  and  the  role  of  adjunctive  technologies  such  as  hyperbaric  oxygen  therapy  (HBOT)  in  the  management  of  the  hypoxic  wound.
