HBOT for the Treatment of Severe COVID-19 Disease Ray Cralle PT We are in the midst of a global pandemic caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus that results in COVID-19 disease. Globally, as of 3:35pm CEST, 17 September 2020, there have…
Cerebral Palsy- New Study demonstrates the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in treating neurological and motor dysfunction Montreal Quebec, May 4, 2014 – A new study published in the current issue of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) Journal…
Why isn’t hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accepted within the medical mainstream? (Part 2) One of the most confusing issues in understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the term -“hyperbaric”. Oxygen is not "Hyperbaric": The use of the term "hyperbaric" may appear to…
Why isn’t hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accepted within the medical mainstream? (Part 1) Hypoxia (low oxygen levels in tissue) hinders healing. The sooner that tissue hypoxia is corrected the better the outcome. Many hypoxic tissues require hyperbaric pressure to achieve…
How does hyperbaric oxygenation help in pain management? Related to crush injuries, pain results from swelling around sensory nerves. Hyperbaric oxygenation acts internally to reduce swelling. Swelling causes ischemia, lack of oxygen circulation. When ischemia is severe and persistent it may…
What is the difference between saturation and oxygen tension? The problem we face in advocating proper usage of oxygen involves confusion between saturation and oxygen tension, 100% vs.. 100 mmHg. Only dissolved oxygen contributes to the tension (or partial pressure).…
When we are inside a chamber pressurized at twice the normal air pressure it may not feel different, but we breathe double the number of molecules. Breathing pure oxygen in such a chamber gives us 10 times the regular amount of oxygen.…
What difference does extra pressure create? Hemoglobin (in red blood cells) holds 97% of its maximum amount of oxygen from normal air or holds 100% when breathing pure oxygen. One gram of hemoglobin can only combine with 1.34 ml of…
What do you feel inside a hyperbaric chamber? The hyperbaric oxygen treatment is a safe and effective therapeutic modality, when delivered by trained and certified individuals. Chamber atmosphere pressurization occurs slowly allowing you to adjust ear pressure changes. Yawning, swallowing…
