What is Hyperbaric Therapy?
Hyperbaric Therapy, also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, typically in a specially designed chamber. This therapy is based on the principle that increasing the pressure and concentration of oxygen in the body can have various health benefits.
Definition
Hyperbaric therapy involves the administration of 100% oxygen at pressures higher than atmospheric pressure. By breathing pure oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen content in the blood and tissues significantly increases, allowing for enhanced healing and therapeutic effects.
Conditions Treated with Hyperbaric Therapy
Hyperbaric therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of various medical conditions. Here are some of the conditions that can benefit from hyperbaric therapy:
​
Wound healing
Hyperbaric therapy has been widely utilized as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of non-healing wounds. By increasing the availability of oxygen to the wound site, hyperbaric therapy promotes tissue repair, accelerates wound healing, and reduces the risk of infections.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to severe oxygen deprivation in the body, potentially causing neurological damage and even death. Hyperbaric therapy helps to rapidly eliminate carbon monoxide from the bloodstream, restoring oxygen levels and preventing further harm.
​
Radiation damage
Individuals who have undergone radiation therapy may experience long-term side effects such as tissue damage and delayed wound healing. Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to enhance tissue healing and reduce radiation-induced complications by stimulating angiogenesis and promoting the growth of healthy tissue.
Stroke recovery
Hyperbaric therapy has been investigated as a potential treatment for stroke recovery. By increasing oxygen delivery to the affected brain tissue, hyperbaric therapy may improve neurological function, reduce disability, and enhance the recovery process for stroke survivors.
Burns
Serious burns can cause tissue damage and impair wound healing. Hyperbaric therapy can help in burn treatment by increasing oxygen availability, promoting tissue repair, and reducing the risk of infection, thus improving outcomes and reducing scarring.
Infections
Certain types of infections, such as necrotizing soft tissue infections, can be life-threatening and require prompt and aggressive treatment. Hyperbaric therapy can be used as an adjunctive treatment to support antibiotics and surgical interventions, improving the oxygenation of infected tissues and helping to combat the infection.
Autism
Hyperbaric therapy has been explored as a complementary therapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While the evidence is still limited, some studies suggest that hyperbaric therapy may improve certain symptoms associated with ASD, such as social interaction, communication, and behavior.
Traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in long-lasting neurological deficits and impaired cognitive function. Hyperbaric therapy has shown potential in improving the outcome of TBI by increasing oxygen supply to the injured brain tissue, reducing inflammation, and promoting neuroplasticity.
Sports injuries
Athletes often experience injuries that can significantly impact their performance and recovery. Hyperbaric therapy has been used in the management of sports injuries to accelerate healing, reduce downtime, and enhance tissue repair, allowing athletes to return to peak performance more quickly.
Post-operative healing
After certain surgical procedures, some individuals may experience delayed wound healing or complications. Hyperbaric therapy can facilitate healing, reduce the risk of infection, and improve overall surgical outcomes by enhancing oxygenation and promoting tissue repair.
How it works
Under normal atmospheric pressure, our lungs extract oxygen from the air and deliver it to the body’s tissues through the bloodstream. However, by increasing the pressure in a hyperbaric chamber, the concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream increases dramatically. This elevated level of oxygen dissolves into the plasma, reaching areas of the body that might have limited oxygen supply under normal conditions.
​
When the oxygen-rich blood reaches these areas, it stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances immune function. This increased availability of oxygen also helps in the growth of new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis, which plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
History of Hyperbaric Therapy
The history of hyperbaric therapy dates back to the late 1800s when it was initially used to treat decompression sickness in divers. Over time, it became evident that hyperbaric oxygen could provide benefits beyond decompression sickness, and its applications expanded to various medical conditions, including non-healing wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, radiation damage, and more. Advances in technology, such as the development of the Vitaeris 320 Chamber, have further revolutionized the field of hyperbaric therapy, making it more accessible and effective than ever before.
