More about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT is a medical treatment that increases the amount of oxygen in the patient's blood, allowing oxygen to pass more easily through the plasma into the wounds to heal them. HBOT chambers surround patients with 100% oxygen at a higher than normal atmospheric pressure. Treatments last about two hours. This includes the time to pressurize and depressurize the chamber plus 90 minutes at the prescribed treatment level.
Indications for HBOT may include:
- Soft tissue radionecrosis and osteoradionecrosis
- Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps
- Actinomycosis
- Crush injury
- Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
- Progressive necrotizing infection/fasciitis
- Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
- Acute carbon monoxide intoxication
- Cyanide poisoning
- Decompression illness
- Gas embolism
- Gas gangrene
