HBOT, or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, is a treatment that uses pure oxygen to heal wounds faster by providing improved oxygen flow. Breathing 100% oxygen under pressure allows oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma, resulting in increased oxygen delivery to the tissues. By the treatment, tissues are revitalized, and it enhances the body’s natural healing process. The procedure is acclaimed world wide, and has numerous health benefits when done under the supervision of expert Healthcare professionals. Avyana Health Care, Chennai, is a predominant Healthcare center to provide the treatment with maximum positives.
HBOT is especially suited for conditions such as:
Decompression sickness (“the bends“)
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Gas embolism
Certain chronic, non-healing wounds (including some diabetic foot ulcers)
Radiation tissue injury after cancer treatment
Certain severe infections
Compromised skin grafts and flaps
Crush injuries and acute traumatic ischemia
In sequence, the treatment happens in the following order:
* You enter a single-person or multi-person hyperbaric chamber.
* The chamber is pressurized gradually.
* You breathe pure oxygen for about 60–120 minutes.
* Treatment is often given over 20–40 sessions, depending on the condition.
