Hyperbaric oxygenation involves the administration of high oxygen concentrations at high pressures which increases the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues. This can help treat gangrene by stimulating growth of new blood vessels and enhancing the destruction of anaerobic bacteria. Fresh air or reduction in ambient oxygen levels offer little benefit, and drinking alcohol can worsen the condition by further reducing circulation to affected tissues.
