What Is Hyperbaric Oxygenation?
Treatment with Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen is a type of non-invasive therapy. The patient breathes 95% oxygen calmly while remaining in a pressurized chamber at a pressure two or three times higher than ambient atmospheric pressure. It is the only therapy indicated in certain cases and in many others, it helps in the treatment of diseases and difficult clinical or surgical problems, apart from producing a revitalizing effect on all tissues. The crux of treatment with hyperbaric oxygen lies in the feasibility of blood plasma (which is the liquid where red blood cells oat) to allow the dilution of oxygen, increasing the concentration of this element ten to fifteen times, which produces a Four times greater increase in oxygen diffusion from the functional capillaries to the cells. All this regardless of the level of oxygen carried by the hemoglobin of the red blood cells remains the same, which is what normally happens to us when we breathe 24 hours a day.
Effects Of Hyperbaric Oxygen
Revitalization and Neovascularization
The cells far from the capillaries that suer hypoxia (low oxygen contribution) are revitalized with hyperbaric oxygen and can complete their functions again, multiply themselves and request more oxygen enabling the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization), indirect hyperbaric oxygen effect revitalizing tissue, organs, and patients.
About Free Radicals
The therapy with hyperbaric oxygen increases the levels of superoxidase dismutase (SOD), glutathione, and catalase that are natural anti-oxidizing that protect us from free radicals, factors that injure our cells.
Antimicrobic Action Effect
Hyper oxygenation supplies white blood cells the oxygen they need to defend the organism from bacteria. Likewise, it makes more effective the functioning of some antibiotics that require high levels of oxygen in the tissues. Oxygen itself can destroy some bacteria directly, especially anaerobic, in such a way that it acts in synergy with the individual’s immunologic system, in addition to its bactericidal action. The therapy with hyperbaric oxygen produces inhibition and inactivation of toxins in infections caused by Clostridium perforin-gens (gas gangrene), at the same time as it elemi-nates anaerobic bacteria. It helps with phagocytosis and oxidative lysis of leukocytes. Power the activity of aminoglycosides. It has a prolonged post-antibiotic effect when it is combined with tobramycin to get against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Vasoconstrictor and Anti-inflammatory
It produces vascular constriction, which avoids extravasation of liquids from capillaries, reducing edemas. The thing is that this effect is established without hypoxia. For this reason, it is applicable in traumatic ischemia and compartment syndrome. It helps to reduce interstitial edema in grafted tissues and keeps them oxygenated and revitalized, as well as reducing post-traumatic and post-surgical recovery time. Postoperative of plastic surgeries is completely guaranteed with hyperbaric oxygenation.\Similar effect is found in hurts produced by burns. The quantity of liquids required for these patients is significantly reduced, getting an excellent recovery.
How Can Hyperbaric Chamber Help?
Immune Modulation
Time in the chamber can increase your Glutathione by approximately 15%. Glutathione is a part of your immune system that protects your cells and eliminates harmful free radicals in your blood. It also reduces inflammation to increase your body’s ability to heal itself from sickness.
Pain & Inflammation
Inflammation blocks blood flow to your body’s tissues, causing pain and an inability to
heal. This pressurized pure oxygen binds itself to your blood’s plasma and carries the
oxygen into those inaccessible areas, encouraging new blood vessels to grow while
eliminating the pain and inflammation.
Brain & Cognitive Function
Hyperbaric therapy has helped thousands of people increase their cognitive function.
There are incredible case studies of significant improvement in brain function of children
with autism and people recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Energy Boosting
Oxygen is the ultimate energy boost and can give you athlete-like stamina. Hyperbaric
therapy can increase your lungs and body’s capacity to take in oxygen. It can take up to
10 times more oxygen than in normal conditions.
Anti-Aging
Increased oxygen through hyperbaric therapy encourages the growth of new blood
vessels and help to treat age-related diseases. Along with the increased energy it gives,
The hyperbaric chamber sessions can help you both look and feel younger.
Peak Performance
Oxygen is the number one performance ingredient! It reduces muscle fatigue, discourages
The build-up of lactic acid gives you better focus and memory and boosts your energy.
Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy will leave you feeling rejuvenated and at the top of your game.
Common Questions about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
What is HBOT?
HBOT stands for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. During HBOT your body is effectively saturated with oxygen, an essential element used by your body for healing. HBOT provides oxygen to cells and tissues that suffer from a lack of oxygen. Healing tissues suffering from hypoxia are unable to heal themselves as effectively as when they have oxygen. Most cells in areas of swelling or other types of injury are suffering from hypoxia. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy also boosts the abilities of the immune system by accelerating the creation of new white blood cells, the sentinel of the bloodstream.
How Does HBOT Work?
During HBOT, the patient is placed in a chamber that allows the body to be brought to greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. Under this greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, the patient breathes 100% oxygen, which first fills the red blood cells in the bloodstream, then continues to flow into the bloodstream and is absorbed directly into the plasma (one of the components of blood). The increased atmospheric pressure facilitates oxygen absorption. The dissolved oxygen in the plasma is more readily available for use by the cells in the body, as little is required to remove the oxygen from the red blood cells. HBOT is a process that floods the body with oxygen so that it may more readily heal itself.
What Effect Does HBOT Have On Healing?
HBOT provides the cells with a boost of oxygen to help the healing process. Oxygen is better able to reach cells that are suffering from hypoxia because of blocked or damaged capillaries (smaller blood vessels that are the last link in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to cells). Healing is often accelerated by 30%-50% or more (this will vary depending on illness and condition).
Why Hasn't My Doctor Recommended HBOT To Me Earlier?
Hyperbaric medicine is not taught in most medical schools. As part of their continuing education doctors are often overwhelmed with information with the number of treatments available for various conditions. Pharmaceutical companies advertise by sending doctors information regarding their products. As hyperbarics is a commodity, there is no central organization that sends physicians information regarding hyperbaric treatment. Thus, in order for doctors to learn of the healing possibilities of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, they must reach beyond the loads of information already handed to them. Doctors must actively research the possibilities of hyperbarics to know of the many benefits it provides, and too often, our physicians are too busy with treating patients to reach out and seek new possibilities; those physicians who have, however, endorse hyperbarics.
Who Cannot Have HBOT?
There are a few conditions in which some may not be able to undergo HBOT. If the patient has certain types of lung damage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may not be a suitable treatment. Certain medications will also preclude some from hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Diabetics are required to take a blood test before each hyperbaric treatment. If the blood sugar level is too low, the patient will not be permitted to undergo treatment until the level is raised. These conditions are for the overall wellness of the patient.
What Does It Feel Like When In The Chamber?
During hyperbaric treatment, one feels comfortable as though he or she were at atmospheric pressure. Patients feel as though they were not even in the chamber. While the chamber is changing pressures, one experiences the same effects of pressure change while ascending or descending in an airplane. It is very normal to feel pressure changes in your ears on ascent and descent, but it is not common to feel pain. A few patients may while most will not. However, the most important area to focus on is to communicate with patients (eye contact, ask for confirmation via hand signal, etc.) frequently. A good practice is to monitor patients every 5-10 minutes with patients and perhaps, longer or as you deem necessary for those who are used to hyperbaric sessions).
