Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapies (HBOT): Hyperbaric medicine is medical treatment in which an ambient pressure greater than sea level atmospheric pressure is a necessary component. The treatment comprises hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the medical use of oxygen at an ambient pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, and therapeutic recompression for decompression illness, intended to reduce the injurious effects of systemic gas bubbles by physically reducing their size and providing improved conditions for elimination of bubbles and excess dissolved gas.

Key Benefits

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a therapeutic method in which pure oxygen is breathed at partial pressures higher than atmospheric pressure in a hyperbaric chamber. The patient is comfortably seated or lying down inside the chamber where he breathes pure oxygen. This oxygen dissolves in arterial, venous and plasma blood, with therapeutic effects.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses a special pressure chamber that increases the amount of oxygen in your blood so your wounds can heal faster and more efficiently. It can improve your oxygen supply, reduce swelling, and stop infection — all while you’re relaxing in the chamber.

Activates biosynthetic processes – Normalizes the energy balance – Activates defense mechanisms – Modifies the structure and functions of the Biomembrane – Rheological Effects:

• * HBO increases the flexibility and adaptability of erythrocytes, which favors their passage through capillaries.
• * It acts as an antiplatelet and antiserotonin and influences the destruction of old red blood cells – Hemoglobin unblocker – Immunomodulator –
• * Has Effects on receptors and hormonal mediators – Regulator of gastrointestinal function –
• * Has an Anti-Edema Effect.
• * Other Effects Osteogenesis modulator, activates the functions of osteoblasts (bone formation) and osteoclasts (destruction of the damaged one); it also increases tissue oxygen tension.
• * It is a radio-modifier that sensitizes tumor cells to radiation and protects peritumoral cells from the negative effects of these.
• * It potentiates the action of some medications such as: diuretics, antiarrhythmics, cytostatics, hormones and antibacterials.
• * Enhances the activity of aminoglycosides.
• * Detoxifying effect by carrying out the oxygenation of xenobiotic substances at the microsomal level, preventing the emergence of toxic metabolites and favoring their destruction.
