What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber. This therapy is used to treat various medical conditions by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, which promotes healing and helps fight infections. The increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, reaching tissues that may be deprived of oxygen due to injury or disease.

Conditions Treated with HBOT

HBOT is effective for a range of conditions, including:

• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Post-surgical wound healing
• Radiation-induced skin damage
• Pressure sores (bedsores)
• Skin graft or flap recovery
• Burns and trauma wounds
• Chronic non-healing wounds
• Infections that are resistant to standard treatments

Patients undergoing HBOT may experience improved healing rates, reduced inflammation, and enhanced recovery from various ailments.

How Does HBOT Work?

During a typical HBOT session, patients enter a hyperbaric chamber where the air pressure is increased to two to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This environment allows the lungs to take in more oxygen than would be possible at normal pressure. The therapy usually lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, and multiple sessions may be required depending on the condition being treated.

What to Expect:

• Non-invasive and painless
• Safe for most patients
• Improves tissue regeneration
• Enhances immune response
