Where have all the bubbles gone? An ode to Hydrogen peroxide, the champagne of all wound cleaners.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide solution can be very effective for cleaning grit filled wounds and grazes. Its use in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments has gone out of vogue due to concerns about air emboli formation. This article discusses the truth behind these concerns and whether it is in fact safe to use hydrogen peroxide solution for wound cleaning in specific situations.
