Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which the patient breathes pure oxygen under pressure. It is administered in a chamber and is an approved treatment for many medical and surgical conditions. It is usually part of an overall plan of care which may involve surgery, antibiotics or other therapy, but for certain conditions it may be the main treatment. The following are just some of the conditions that may benefit from HBOT:

• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis (bone infections)
• Compromised skin grafts/flaps
• Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
• Soft tissue radionecrosis (skin damage from radiation therapy)

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 100% oxygen is delivered in a closed chamber, and air pressure is increased to as much as 3 times normal. This causes a dramatic increase in oxygen taken in by the lungs which is then transferred to the blood.  The blood then transports the oxygen to all parts of the body. The oxygen-rich blood helps improve healing and controls infection in certain conditions.

HBOT can be used along with other advanced therapies and wound healing treatments.
