What is HBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized medical treatment where patients breathe in 100% pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. The pressure inside the chamber is significantly higher than normal atmospheric pressure, typically 1.5 to 3 times greater.<br><br>

  2. Introduction to HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized medical treatment that utilizes pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to promote healing and recovery. The therapy involves placing a patient inside a hyperbaric chamber, where the atmospheric pressure is elevated to levels significantly higher than normal. Under these controlled conditions, patients breathe 100% oxygen, which dissolves into the bloodstream and is delivered to every part of the body. This process increases the oxygen concentration in tissues and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. The principle behind HBOT is simple yet powerful: oxygen is essential for the body’s metabolic processes, especially for repairing damaged tissues and fighting infections. By increasing the availability of oxygen in the bloodstream and tissues, HBOT enhances the efficiency of these processes. Normally, oxygen is carried by red blood cells, but under hyperbaric conditions, oxygen can dissolve directly into bodily fluids, such as plasma and lymph, enabling it to reach areas where blood circulation may be restricted or impaired.

  3. Purpose of HBOT The primary goal of HBOT is to improve oxygen delivery to tissues and stimulate healing. It is especially effective in conditions where tissue oxygen levels are critically low due to injury, infection, or vascular issues. The therapy serves several purposes: Enhancing Wound Healing: HBOT promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and reduces inflammation, making it particularly beneficial for chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores. Fighting Infections: High oxygen levels in tissues create an environment that is toxic to certain bacteria, including anaerobic 1. 2.

  4. How Does HBOT Work? Key Mechanism: Increased atmospheric pressure in the chamber allows oxygen to dissolve into the blood at higher concentrations than under normal conditions. This oxygen reaches areas of the body where circulation may be reduced or compromised. Scientific Basis: Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels). Reduces swelling and stimulates the release of growth factors. Enhances white blood cell activity for infection control.

  5. Medical Applications of HBOT Conditions Treated by HBOT: Wound healing (e.g., diabetic foot ulcers). Carbon monoxide poisoning. Decompression sickness (commonly in divers). Radiation therapy side effects. Chronic infections (like osteomyelitis). Brain injuries, stroke recovery, and more.

  6. Benefits of HBOT Key Benefits: Enhances oxygen delivery to tissues. Speeds up recovery from injuries and surgeries. Reduces swelling and inflammation. Stimulates the immune system and fights infection. Improves quality of life for patients with chronic conditions.

  7. Limitations and Risks Potential Risks: Ear barotrauma (pressure-related ear discomfort). Temporary changes in vision. Rare risk of oxygen toxicity (if improperly administered). Limitations: May not be suitable for all medical conditions. Requires multiple sessions for maximum effectiveness.
