When a patient is given 100% oxygen under pressure, hemoglobin is saturated, but the blood can be hyperoxygenated by dissolving oxygen within the plasma. The patient can be administered systemic oxygen via 2 basic chambers: Type A, multiplace; and Type B, monoplace. Both types can be used for routine wound care, treatment of most dive injuries, and treatment of patients who are ventilated or in critical care. Multiplace chamber Multiplace Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber treat multiple patients at the same time, generally with a nurse or another inside observer who monitors…

Advantages of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps to treat Autism, Cerebral Palsy, MS, Parkinsons, Athletic Performing, healing of wounds, used as immune defense and much more. Hyperbaric medicine, also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the medical use of oxygen at a higher than atmospheric pressure. Hyper means increased and baric relates to pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) refers to intermittent treatment of the entire body with 100-percent oxygen at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Some of the many remarkable benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy are as follows: greatly increases oxygen concentration…

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is being used in the treatment of autism, Cerebral Palsy etc. It’s described as the use of oxygen at a higher than atmospheric pressure. This oxygen is said to stimulate the brain and help improve cognitive and social function in children with chronic brain injury. Patients undergoing this type of therapy get into an enclosed HBOT chamber for numerous sessions. Because clinics and hospital fees can run upwards of $100-$500 a session, many families are opting for at-home soft chambers. The Vitaris 320 model retails for appx…

Stroke is the third largest cause of death, and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. Stroke is a form of cardiovascular disease, affecting blood flow to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts or is blocked. This causes areas of the brain, which are not receiving oxygen through blood, to die or become dormant. When areas of the brain die from a stroke, the area of the body corresponding to the…

Read MoreHBOT is used to treat a wide range of conditions including Autism
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used to treat a wide range of conditions, with new applications being researched on a continual basis. There are currently fifteen conditions treatable with hyperbaric that are approved by the FDA in the US. However, there are numerous “off-label” uses for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, many of which are documented with scientific evidence that is stronger than that of the FDA approved conditions. Nearly all medical clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals use FDA-approved drugs and medical devices for “off-label” use on a consistent basis. FDA allows…

Following are the various advantages of hyperbaric chamber therapy or HBOT. Biochemical Improvement HBOT helps to reduce excess concentrations of lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia, particularly in older people, which are detrimental to fitness and contribute to fatigue. Exercise typically causes significant increase in these substances. Increase of capacity for strenuous exercise HBOT allows for this ability during rehab, this is of great importance in the rehabilitation heart disease patients, for the treatment of mild hypertension and for lowering blood lipids. HBOT’s role in Stroke Rehabilitation Activates dormant neurons in the…

Physical therapy is an essential part of any rehabilitation program regarding many chronic conditions as well as many neurological disabilities. Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to aid the functional recovery of patients and their integration into society. It’s importance is large in all aspects of medicine and particularly so in neurological disorders where rehabilitation becomes not only physical but also psychological and (neuropsychology) techniques to help reprogram brain function. The addition of HBOT into existing rehabilitation programs has shown a wide range of clinical benefits. ROLE OF HBOT IN REHABILITATION…
Read MoreTypes of Hyperbaric Chambers and HBOT Therapies
What do Hyperbaric Chambers and Therapies involve? HBOT can be done in single-person chambers or chambers that can hold more than a dozen people at a time. A single-person chamber, or monoplace, consists of a clear plastic tube about seven feet long. The patient lies on a padded table that slides into the tube. The hyperbaric chamber is gradually pressurized with pure oxygen. Patients are asked to relax and breathe normally during treatment. Chamber pressures typically rise to 2.5 times the normal atmospheric pressure. Patients may experience ear popping or…
