What Are the Different Types of Hyperbaric Treatments?

In the high pressure (more than normal pressure) environment, breathing pure oxygen or high concentration of oxygen to treat hypoxic diseases and related diseases, is the method of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

In the high pressure (more than normal pressure) environment, breathing pure oxygen or high concentration of oxygen to treat hypoxic diseases and related diseases, is the method of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

The International Association of Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Professional Committee on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy's 1999 Annual Meeting described it as follows: Patients inhaling 100% of oxygen in an environment above atmospheric pressure to treat diseases are called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In clinical work, patients often cannot breathe 100% oxygen, we also call him hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be performed under the guidance of a specialist, and different oxygen concentrations and oxygen inhalation methods should be selected according to the situation of the patient.

In general, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can achieve good results for hypoxia and ischemic diseases, or a series of diseases caused by hypoxia and ischemia; some infectious diseases and

Side effects of HBO treatment

Conventional HBO treatment will not have any side effects. If the staff does not operate properly, do not follow the operating procedures, or do not talk about science, changing the treatment plan without authorization can have serious consequences.

The contraindications for HBO treatment are relative. As long as the medical staff pays attention to learning and summing up, and constantly improves themselves, it can eliminate the adverse factors and timely treat patients with HBO.

In general, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can achieve good results for hypoxia and ischemic diseases, or a series of diseases caused by hypoxia and ischemia; certain infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy Can also achieve better results. But hyperbaric oxygen treatment must pay attention to the following issues:

1. Hyperbaric oxygen is not a fixed pattern: due to different pressures, different concentrations of oxygen inhalation, and different treatment effects; different diseases may choose different treatment pressures and oxygen inhalation methods.

2. It is rare for hyperbaric oxygen to treat diseases alone: At present, in terms of oxygen supply, hyperbaric oxygen is the most economical, most reliable, and safest method of oxygen supply that cannot be replaced by any other method. Despite this, hyperbaric oxygen must be combined with different drugs according to different diseases in order to achieve better results.

3, each disease has its best timing: When to start treatment for each disease is very critical, during the best treatment time, the effect is better, away from the best treatment time, the effect will be discounted. For example, hyperbaric oxygen combined with other drugs is extremely effective in the treatment of emergency and / or early deafness and facial paralysis, but the effect can be imagined if the patient does not treat it for months or years.

4. Choose different treatment time according to different diseases: how long each disease is treated depends on the nature of the disease and the individual differences of patients. For ordinary extremity injuries, the survival of hypoxic and ischemic tissues can be seen in about two weeks. For cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, patients will find that the precardiac area discomfort has been reduced in about one month. Less; but for neurological diseases, such as brain damage, light patients can take several weeks, and heavy patients can take months; sometimes the treatment of vegetative states can reach more than half a year.

5. The time of each oxygen inhalation should not be too long, generally controlled within 60-90 minutes. Indirect oxygen inhalation should be adopted to avoid oxygen poisoning. In addition, patients are not allowed to bring matches, lighters, flammable and explosive materials into the cabin, and do not wear chemical fiber clothing into the cabin to avoid fire. Patients do not eat foods that produce more gas, such as soy products and potatoes, before entering the cabin. Pee should be emptied before entering the cabin. Patients should obey the arrangements of medical staff and master the method of oxygen inhalation. If an abnormality is found during treatment, the medical staff should be contacted through the cabin telephone.
