Identifying relevant, current, evidence-based practice requires a commitment in nursing practice that is essential in the continued care of all individuals in order to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Methodologies and theory-based approaches provide a basis of understanding about the symptoms, prevention, onset, or slowing of healing in individuals with chronic illnesses. One such chronic illness this project aims to identify is chronic slow healing/nonhealing ulcers in adult diabetic patients. Despite standardized wound care, healing for this population of patients may take months, years, or no healing at all; also, the treatment of chronic diabetic ulcers puts a great strain on the individual and the health care system in whole. Numerous quality research studies have reported that adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown to be effective and beneficial in healing diabetic ulcers when used with standardized wound care. Nursing education and understanding the standards of nursing practice may promote the use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with standardized wound care in order for patients to receive the best possible health outcomes. Utilizing evidence-based research identifies the targeted audience of adult diabetic patients with chronic ulcers; provides a problem statement to the current issues regarding patient's healing and quality of life; describes a well-developed implementation plan that incorporates theory; describes an evaluation plan; an evaluation plan; and a dissemination plan for including HBOT into practice. Current review of evidence is included as well as an essential assessment tool that may educate potential project participants as well as a tool for evaluating project outcomes.

A textbook may sometimes gain the unusual trait of longevity beyond all other books - it can be revised and remain a primary source of information for generations of students. Hyperbaric Medicine Practice seems destined to become such a book. This 4th edition, edited by Harry T. Whelan, pays tribute to its original author, Dr. Kindwall, who died in 2012. It also adds new information of interest to all in the field of diving and clinical hyperbaric medicine. Most chapters have been written or revised by new authors, but many have returned to update their chapters. New chapters include indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment subjects recently approved for treatment such as idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and central retinal vein occlusion. There are also chapters on submarine rescue and problems that pertain to technical and rebreather diving. This book will be an important addition to the library of physicians in clinical hyperbaric medicine and those involved with divers—recreational, commercial, and military—as well as other professionals who care for them. - comments by Henry J.C.
