Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Uitgangsvraag
What is the added value of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as opposed to medical treatment alone?
Aanbeveling
Do not use hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment regimen for patients with necrotizing external otitis.
Overwegingen
Balance between desired and undesired effects
Evidence
Reviewing the results found in literature, we found only one study comparing the remission of patients treated with additional hyperbaric oxygen therapy, versus standard therapy consisting primarily of antibiotics (Mardassi, 2016). They found a rate of remission of 100% in the HBOT group, versus 74% in the group without HBOT (Relative risk: 1.35 (CI 95% 1.06 - 1.72)).. However, in the light of the overall quality of evidence, the effect of HBOT is uncertain.
Analogous to the methodology of this literature search, the same conclusion was drawn in the Cochrane review (Philips, 2013): no identified articles described randomized controlled trials of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of malignant otitis externa.
Expert opinion
As there is only one comparative study on this topic, this caption summarizes the available literature with lower evidence level, including case series and retrospective observational studies opinion, along with the panel’s expert opinion.
According to the European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) (Mathieu, 2017), during the 10th European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine, recommendations were given for accepted and non-accepted clinical indications. The recommendations were given on three components: 1) level of evidence 2) the interpretation of the evidence 3) the type or strength of the recommended practice. In this paper the Committee acknowledges that there are several conditions of interest that are so complex or where there are so many variables that it would be impossible to design a study sufficiently powerful to assess any single procedure. For malignant otitis externa, no specific recommendations on the use of HBOT were given, owing to the very low levels of evidence (level D): the disease is placed in the category “non-accepted indications”. This should not be confused with evidence against the use of HBOT (this category of indications is mentioned separately). The ECHM ultimately advises, in case of treatment of patients with conditions in which HBOT (such as NOE) is considered not to be indicated, to discuss a benefit/risk balance for each specific patient before using HBOT.
A systematic review by Byun (2020) describes results of 58 pooled patients from 16 studies. The reported studies are studies in which additional HBOT was given, either concomitantly or in case of failing medical or surgical treatment. In most cases the HBOT regimen was well reported. An overall cure rate of 91.4% was found. The most extensive systematic review on NOE (Takata, 2023) reports on 70 papers on a total of over 2000 patients. 10 papers report on the use of HBOT, also either concomitant or as salvage treatment. There seems a regional preference for this treatment modality, as most papers are from the US, Turkey or Israel. The article states that there is no clear evidence to support HBOT use in NOE.
Unless this clear statement of the ECHM, research papers are published on case series describing the use of HBOT and case series in which a fraction of patients is treated with HBOT. This might be a reflection of the therapeutic dilemmas of clinicians in severe cases looking for additional treatment options, or the lack of opportunity to create a higher level of evidence due to the low incidence.
Studies on HBOT in patients with NOE / skull base osteomyelitis
Well-structured reports on HBOT for NOE are very limited. One study reports on the results of a single hyperbaric center in Portugal, summarizing the results of 16 patients over 9 years from 8 tertiary referral centers (Amaro, 2019). Patients were at least treated 3 months prior to HBOT (average 5 months). The majority of the patients had extensive disease with cranial nerve palsies and had had surgery prior HBOT. The overall disease-specific survival was 100%. The authors share these results along with the limitations and state that HBOT can be considered in in patients who failed conventional therapy and in severe cases. Although all cases are well documented, the most important limitation is that no proof about objective monitoring of disease control is given. Moreover, the study population is thought to be highly biased towards the extraordinarily severe case load.
A recent study reports on 15 patients treated with HBOT over the course of 15 years, all referred by tertiary care centers after failed medical, and in some cases, surgical treatment (Gomes, 2024). Although a detailed description of the prior treatment lacks, 100% remission is reported after combined medical and hyperbaric therapy.
Quality of the evidence
The overall quality of evidence is very low. This means that we are very uncertain about the estimated effect of the critical outcomes found. There was a downgrade due to:
- Risk of Bias: methodological limitations
- Indirectness: indirectness of the evidence, due to differences in population.
- Imprecision: inaccuracy, due to a very small number of events in a small sample size.
Values and preferences of patients (and possibly their caregivers)
Due to the unknown effects of HBOT. Any possible complications for the patient are very significant. Although often self-limiting after treatment, some complications such a pneumothorax can occur and should be taken into consideration for a treatment with unknown therapeutic effects for necrotizing otitis externa.
Costs (resources)
HBOT is not unreasonably expensive as a treatment option. However, if the added value is debatable, the cost aspect should definitely be weighed.
Equity ((health) equity/equitable)
The guideline panel expects no problems with health equity with regard to medical treatment of necrotizing otitis externa. HBOT treatment facilities however, are not widespread. Especially because patients are often frail and elderly, it is not obvious to offer HBOT as a (daily) treatment regimen if the nearest facility requires daily transport.
Acceptability
The guideline panel expects no problems with ethical acceptability with regard to HBOT treatment of necrotizing external otitis. A practical problem can be the limited availability of HBOT facilities. HBOT cannot be considered sustainable for a debatable indication in terms of resource use and costs. It requires extensive training and expensive infrastructure (the tanks) and has high energy consumption.
Feasibility
The implementation of HBOT as standard treatment modality for NOE is not feasible, due to the lack of evidence as well as the sparse availability of HBOT facilities.
Rationale of the recommendation: weighing arguments for and against the interventions
Literature on the efficacy of HBOT on NOE / skull base osteomyelitis is limited to case series, case reports and a single comparative study with its limitations and high risk of publication bias. Parallels are drawn with HBOT as a treatment modality for different conditions with similarities, such as complicated wound healing and refractory osteomyelitis, and are used to justify HBOT for this disorder. Although there are some reports that incline towards a positive effect of HBOT on NOE / skull base osteomyelitis, the quality of the evidence is low.
The guideline panel therefore confirms the opinion / position of the European Committee on Hyperbaric Medicine and does not recommend HBOT as a standard intervention for NOE / skull base osteomyelitis.
Apart from the uncertain beneficial effects of HBOT, possible side effects should also be taken into account: barotrauma, dental problems, sinus compression, claustrophobia, seizures and pulmonary oxygen toxicity. These are rare, but can occur even when the procedure is performed correctly. Costs and availability also play a role when the quality of evidence is considered too low.
Final judgment:
Weak recommendation against the standard treatment of NOE / skull base osteomyelitis with HBOT.
Onderbouwing
Achtergrond
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment modality used for enhanced recovery of tissues. It consists of exposure to more than 99% oxygen at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. A patient is placed in a pressure vessel during a predetermined treatment schedule. HBOT has proven efficacy for several medical conditions (Moon, 2019). The main principle is to increase the availability of oxygen throughout the body (Gordon, 2023), which is thought to result in fibroblast activation, upregulation of growth factors, downregulation of inflammatory cytokines and reduction of leukocyte chemotaxis (Sethuraman, 2022). Several diagnoses have been widely approved as an indication for HBOT and can be divided into two main categories: disorders primary related to gas exchange (carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness) and disorders related to tissue perfusion, amongst others: wound problems, necrotizing soft tissue infections, refractory osteomyelitis (Moon, 2019). Necrotizing otitis externa, or skull base osteomyelitis is not explicitly mentioned as such, but can be interpreted as a necrotizing soft tissue infection as well as refractory osteomyelitis.

Results
Remission
The study of Mardassi (2016) included 42 patients, in which 19 underwent HBOT, in addition to standard antibiotic treatment (i.v. 3rd generation cephalosporin for 3 to 4 weeks, followed by oral fluoroquinolones for a total mean period of 8 weeks (5 to 15 weeks). In the group with HBOT, there was total remission in 19 of 19 patients (100%). The group with only antibiotic treatment had a remission in 17 out of 23 (74%)
Length of treatment
No studies regarding length of treatment as an outcome measure were found.

Inbreng patiëntenperspectief
Attention was paid to the patient perspective by inviting Stichting Hoormij and Patiëntenfederatie Nederland for the invitational conference, and close contact with Stichting Hoormij during the development of the guideline. The report of this [see related products] was discussed in the guideline development group. The input obtained was taken into account when formulating the key questions, selecting the outcome measures, and drafting the considerations. The draft guideline was also submitted for comments to Stichting Hoormij and Patiëntenfederatie Nederland, and any comments received were reviewed and processed.
Kwalitatieve raming van mogelijke financiële gevolgen in het kader van de Wkkgz
Bij de richtlijnmodule voerde de werkgroep conform de Wet kwaliteit, klachten en geschillen zorg (Wkkgz) een kwalitatieve raming uit om te beoordelen of de aanbevelingen mogelijk leiden tot substantiële financiële gevolgen. Bij het uitvoeren van deze beoordeling is de richtlijnmodule op verschillende domeinen getoetst (zie het stroomschema bij Werkwijze).
