Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Intact skin with no abnormal openings at the site of primary amputation
Healed and intact skin at the site of primary amputation without need for more proximal amputation.Healed amputation is defined as epithelialization of the wound examined by a orthopedic surgeon. Level of primary amputation is decided by the surgeon. Planned 2-session amputation, for example Guillotine amputation with a final amputation later is considered being primary amputation. Healed primary amputation will be measured at 12 weeks.
12 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (23)
Intact skin with no abnormal openings at the site of amputation at 6 months
6 months
Intact skin with no abnormal openings at the site of amputation at 9 months

Study Arms (2)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
EXPERIMENTAL30 sessions of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 90min treatment at 2,4 ATA(atmosphere absolute) with 100% oxygen.First session must be given within 7 days after initial amputation. Treatment is given as outpatient treatment after discharge from hospital.
Control group
NO INTERVENTIONControl group will be given standard of care with follow up at the outpatient clinic after discharge from hospital.
Interventions
Breathing 100% oxygen for 30+30+30 min at 2,4 ATA. in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber. Total of 30 sessions
