When a wound from an accident, underlying disease or infection isn’t healing properly, appropriate care can save life and limb. Dallas Regional Medical Center offers highly specialized care at our Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, located adjacent to the hospital at 901 North Galloway Avenue, Suite 101. This facility is designed to monitor, manage, and treat chronic non-healing wounds with the expertise from our highly trained wound care staff.
Wounds that resist healing can lead to many complications, including infection, sepsis, hospitalization, deformities, amputation, or decrease in function. The Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center provides diagnosis and treatment for a variety of chronic or non-healing wounds in an outpatient setting.
Wound Types Treated:
- Pressure ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Venous wounds
- Diabetic wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Trauma related wounds
- Radiation tissue damage
- Gangrene
- Complex soft tissue wounds
- Lymphedema
- Burns
At Dallas Regional's Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, our team of medical specialists is trained to treat all types of wounds as early and efficiently as possible. The first step in the road to recovery of a non-healing wound is an examination by one of our wound care physician specialists, Shannon Payseur, M.D. or Carlton K. Clarke, II, M.D. Next, one of our specially trained wound care nurses creates an individualized treatment plan in which all the necessary caregivers – from specialty surgeons to therapists and family members – are included. The plan is then communicated to the primary care physician, who continues to treat underlying conditions and provide overall care for the patient. This treatment approach has been designed to complement the primary or referring physician’s care; not replace it. A physician has the option to call the center for an appointment for his or her patient or patients may call the center directly.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
This emerging technology uses a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to help speed wound healing. The chamber contains 100% oxygen that is administered under pressures greater than 1 atmosphere. Lying in this chamber, breathing normally increases the concentration of oxygen in the blood. This makes more oxygen available to damaged body tissues, which helps the tissues repair themselves.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used for the treatment of difficult medical problems such as:
- Chronic problem wounds, including diabetic foot wounds
- Compromised grafts and flaps
- Radiation injuries to soft tissues or bones
- Chronic refractory ostemoyelitis (bone infections)
- Acute ischemias
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections
- Gas gangrene
- Crush injuries
Medical coverage at the Dallas Regional Medical Center Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center is provided by our Medical Directors, Shannon Payseur, M.D. and Carlton K. Clarke, M.D., and by Carlton K. Clarke, II, M.D. Dr. Payseur also speaks Spanish, which will assist those patients who are bilingual. Se habla español para que todos nuestros pacientes sientan bienvenidos.
Patients may be referred to the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center by their physician, or may call the center directly at 214-660-2580 or fax at 214-660-2585 to schedule an appointment. The Center participates in many commercial insurance plans, HMOs and PPOs.
