Objective To study the effect of preconditioning hyperbaric oxygenation on skin flap is-ehaemia tolerance. Methods 18 male SD rats were divided into the control and HBO preconditioning groups. In control group, an extended epigastrie adipocutaneous flap was raised, based on the right su-perficial epigastric artery and vein. 3-hours flap ischemia was induced by clamping the pedicle vessels with microvascular clamp. At the end of ischemia induction, the clamp was removed and the flap was sutured back. Rats in HBO preconditioning group were treated with HBO two days before operation. Flap surger-y began 1 hour after the last HBO treatment. The operation was the same as the control group. On the fifth postoperative day, the condition of the flap was recorded with transparent paper. Mean flap necrosis area was calculated with Acrobat software. Data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results The aver-age designed flap area was (51.59±6.62)cm2 and (52.71±2.05)cm2 in the control group and the HBO preconditioning group. The average flap survival area was (7.38±2.49)cm2 and (15.82±5.95)cm2. The difference was significant between the control and HBO preconditioning groups (t= 4. 14, P<0.01) in average flap survival area. Conclusion HBO preconditioning can rise flap ischaemia tolerance and enhance flap survival.
