Other Research Projects Understanding the Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen on Chronic Wounds
This multi-centre prospective study, coordinated through the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, is the first time comprehensive wound healing data from hyperbaric centres in Australia and New Zealand has been collected on such a large scale. The results of this study should help define the overall benefits of a course of HBO for chronic non-healing wounds.
Hyperbaric Oxygen's Effect on Specific Skin Cell Growth
This recently published* Queensland University of Technology study, conducted in consultation with the WCHM, has shown an increase in growth and maturation of certain skin cell lines when exposed to hyperbaric oxygen versus normal skin cell growth media.

Wound Biomarkers and Their Response to Hyperbaric Oxygen
This Queensland University of Technology study is attempting to identify candidate proteins in exudates collected from the chronic wounds and observing how these biomarkers respond to a course of HBO therapy. The WCHM has been working closely with QUT providing fluid samples for this ongoing project.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Beneficial in the Treatment of Vascular Dementia?
This pilot study conducted in cooperation with the University of Queensland, The Wesley Research Institute and the WCHM is investigating whether a course of HBO will have any positive benefits for patients suffering from the effects of vascular dementia.
