Abstract		Freezing cold injury (FCI), commonly known as frostbite, is a local injury of peripheral tissues caused by freezing. Its main pathophysiological mechanism is arterial vasoconstriction and hypoxia of peripheral tissues. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) enhances oxygen supply to reversibly damaged tissues. This article is a case report of frostbite management with HBO therapy.
Summary		Zmrzline so poškodbe perifernih tkiv zaradi zmrznjenja. Ključni mehanizem njihovega nastanka je vazokonstrikcija krvnih žil periferije in posledična hipoksija tkiv. S hiperbarično oksigenacijo dosežemo boljšo preskrbo s kisikom v tistih tkivih, ki še niso nepopravljivo okvarjena. Članek prikazuje primer zmrzlin in njihovo zdravljenje.
