How does hyperbaric works?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which the patient is entirely enclosed in a pressure chamber breathing pure oxygen (O2) at greater than one atmosphere pressure. In our atmosphere, the pressure is 1ATA, so Air contains nearly 21% oxygen and approximately 78% nitrogen. Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells.
With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all of the blood and in the cerebral spinal fluids of body, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and the bone and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues and the body can support its own healing process. The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas. It is a simple, non-invasive and painless treatment.
In a word, Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe, effective way to get more oxygen into the body at the cellular level by using 1.3 ATA pressurized air chamber.
Medical studies have shown that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), combined with standard medical and/or surgical care, offers patients with an extremely effective treatment option and outcome for various medical conditions.
Just to name a few, these benefits may include chronic wounds, collagen production, infection, traumatic brain injury and carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, hyperbaric chamber therapy may improve decompression illness. Indeed, the health benefits and positive outcome of hyperbaric chamber treatments may include:
Hyperbarics is a technology in which the air pressure in the environment is increased. When a person's body is placed in a more pressure environment, it absorbs more oxygen molecules per volume of compressed air.
The body normally transports oxygen via the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. By increasing the air pressure, oxygen is then driven into the body's fluids, allowing a super-saturation of tissues and organs with oxygen. The increased pressure infuses the body with oxygen, even reaching injuries with damaged circulation.
Usually 60-90 minutes for each time, 5-7 Times per week. Doctors recommend using it continuously every day, but one time per day is enough.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is prescribed by a physician and performed under medical supervision. Although there are minor risks like all medical treatments, overall hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely safe.
4.Are there any side effects?
Portable Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber is completely safe. The most common side effect is discomfort to the ears caused by pressure changes. To minimize the risk, patients learn to promote the adequate clearing of your ears during pressurization. Some patients may feel tired and dizzy after using hyperbaric chamber first time. It's a good signal that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will speed up the metabolism of your body. They are usually good signs in indicating detoxification.
When the chamber is pressurizing, your ears will feel the change in pressure inside the chamber. You might feel a little painful in your ears, to equalize the pressure and avoid the feeling of fullness in your ears, you can clear your ears by chewing (gum or food), swallowing, yawning. Once the chamber is fully pressurized, this feeling will return to normal. You can sleep, meditate, read, watch movie, listen to music, etc.
When cells in the brain die, either from trauma or lack of oxygen, blood plasma leaks out into surrounding brain tissue causing swelling and reducing blood flow. These otherwise normal cells go dormant because they can't function without the appropriate amount of oxygen. HBOT dramatically increases the oxygen carried in the blood plasma, making oxygen available to heal damaged capillary walls, preventing plasma leakage and reducing swelling. As the swelling decreases, blood flow can be restored to the dormant tissue (neovascularization) and these cells then have the potential to function again.
