Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbarics offers precision-dosing of hyperbaric oxygen therapy customized to the patient, the patient’s condition, and the time of intervention in the disease process (days to years after the onset of the disease).  This is done in hardshell chambers with the entire dosing range of pressures, and oxygen content.

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a medical treatment in which 100 percent oxygen is administered at high pressure to a patient in order to treat specific medical conditions. It has been shown to be particularly effective in healing and treating problem wounds, chronic bone infection, radiation injury, and compromised skin grafts and flaps. The team works closely with the primary referring physician and coordinates other procedures and hospital visits.

What are the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) makes positive changes in the lives of those living with life- and limb-threatening wounds or other serious conditions.

Benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) include:

  • Improved care – By accelerating healing, risks of disability and death are lowered with HBO.
  • Shorter hospital stay – HBO patients often spend fewer days in the hospital, sometimes seeing reductions in their length of stay by 30 – 50%.
  • Lower costs – By accelerating healing and reducing the length of hospital stay, HBO coincides with cost-containment goals of major insurance providers.

What Types of Wounds Are Typically Treated by HBOT?

The mainstream and hospital-based uses for HBOT include:
    • Lyme disease
    • Cancer
    • Air or gas embolism
    • Carbon monoxide poisoning
    • Acute traumatic ischemia 
    • Cyanide poisoning 
    • Decompression illness (“bends”)
    • Clostridial myonecrosis 
    • Radiation proctitis 
    • Some non-healing wounds
    • Gas gangrene
    • Necrotizing infections
    • Some cases of osteomyelitis
    • Radiation-induced tissue damage
    • Compromised grafts and skin flaps
    • Burns
    • Compartment syndrome

     

There are a growing number of extra conditions that may respond to increased oxygen levels. For many of these, the level of scientific proof is limited or anecdotal.

    • Cerebral palsy 
    • Stroke 
    • Multiple sclerosis
