Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT):
How it works
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves administering 100% oxygen to patients in a specially constructed chamber. The atmospheric pressure is increased two to three times normal for 90 minutes per session. This has the effect of:
- Increasing vastly the oxygen concentration of the patient’s blood.
- Saturating the wound with oxygen.
- Enabling cells to function that fight infection and repair wounds.
