Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) ?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ( HBOT) is a medical treatment that uses the administration of 100 percent oxygen at controlled pressure (greater than sea level ) for a prescribed amount of time . This treatment can have dramatic results in difficult cases.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy help ?
During HBO due to higher pressure the Oxygen dissolves more in the liquid part of blood (plasma) and its level increases 10-20 times of normal level . This oxygen reaches all areas of the body –those places also where it was not reaching earlier due to inadequate blood supply or less hemoglobin .
Who will benefit from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy ?
HBOT helps in healing wounds quickly
- Wounds in Diabetic patients
- Wounds due to treatment of cancer with radiation therapy
- Arterial and venous ulcers
- Accident wounds (Traumatic Ischemias)
- Severe Infections (gangrene)
- Burns
- Pressure sores in bed ridden patients
- Bone infection (Osteomyelitis ) and most other non or slow healing wounds
- Osteoradionecrosis , radiation cystitis , proctitis etc.
- Strengthening of irradiated tissue before tooth extraction , plastic surgery ,implants etc.
- To augment the effect of radiation in some select cases

- Sudden Deafness
- Tinitus (sounds in ear)
- Vertigo

- Head injury
- Cerebral palsy
- Stroke
- Spinal Injury
