What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen while inside a clear acrylic treatment chamber. The air we breathe is 21% oxygen. Research has shown that by increasing the oxygen content level in blood and compromised tissue, HBOT provides the ideal environment to promote the growth of new blood vessels and skin – a cornerstone of wound healing.
Indications for HBOT
- Some types of diabetic foot wounds
- Chronic bone infection
- Acute arterial insufficiency
- Radiation related problems
- Necrotizing infections
- Gas gangrene
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Crush injuries
- Selected non-healing wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Soft tissue infection
