What is Hypoxia?
What is Hypoxia? Hypoxia is a condition characterized by a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching tissues or organs in the body. This can occur when there is a decrease in the oxygen content of the blood, impaired oxygen…

When you say hyperbaric oxygen therapy, many physicians are quick to dismissed it. After all, many medical school curricula have barely enough time to address mainstream treatments and little time to address alternatives in health care. Oxygen is required by every cell in the body. Hypoxia is a term used to describe the lack of oxygen. Cellular hypoxia generates mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damage, activation of several inflammatory cascades, complement activation and eventually tissue death. HBOT restores oxygen tension maintaining cellular metabolism, restores ATP production, avoids or reduces mitochondrial dysfunction, prevents oxidative stress and apoptosis. Hyperbaric oxygen uses pressure to dissolve oxygen into the fluids of the body. This effect is explained by Henry’s gas law. This same gas law explains the process of carbonation. Coca Cola is bottle, Carbon dioxide is dissolved into the flat cola syrup under pressure, then capped to create soft drink many people enjoy. When the bottle is uncapped the bubble come out of solution. Hyperbaric oxygen has been around for nearly 200 years. Using systemic delivery, HBOT is capable of delivering up to 20 times the normal oxygen by diffusion to the tissues in critical need.

Hypoxia- The role of oxygen is diverse and still poorly understood.
The body and brain are sensitive to changes in oxygen concentration. Hypoxia is the term used when the overall oxygen level drops below 21% or the atmospheric pressure is less than 1.0 ATA (with 21 % oxygen). There are several…
