Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a adjuvant therapy in which we breathe pure oxygen inside a chamber that is under a heightened atmospheric pressure in order to boost our body's inherent healing abilities
We breathe air that contains around 20.9% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and trace amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and hydrogen. The air we breathe contains oxygen particles that move from our lungs to our bloodstream's red cells.
Under normal settings, cells absorb just 25% of the oxygen that enters their mitochondria, which turn oxygen and nutrients into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), the high-energy molecule that stores and provides energy to our bodies. This is known as aerobic respiration, and it is the primary reason we breathe oxygen.
The pressure inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber drives oxygen into our lungs, circulation, and cells, increasing absorption rates within the cells. More oxygen is given to mitochondria, increasing energy production
Lungs can absorb more oxygen under pressure (1,5 - 2 ATA) than when breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. The circulatory system transports oxygen throughout the body to aid in the battle against infection and to encourage the release of growth factors (such as vitamins and hormones) and stem cells, which promote healing.
Our bodies rely on oxygen to survive. A shortage of oxygen can reduce blood flow, damage tissue, accelerate ageing, cause hair to thin, and even impair memory. Our cells get depleted of nutrients as we age, yet providing oxygen to our cells can restore health, energy, and vigour.
The majority of illnesses and injuries occur and persist at the tissue level, within the cells. In the case of non-healing wounds, strokes, or issues with blood circulation, not enough oxygen may reach the damaged area, preventing natural healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy addresses this issue by naturally increasing oxygen levels.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is beneficial in situations where ordinary medication just doesn’t do the work. It improves the sufferer's quality of life, and illnesses such as stroke, chronic fatigue, palsy, and others have all showed substantial improvements.
HBOT may treat any ailment that requires an increase in oxygen, it can treat infections as an antibiotic, and it can be used in concert with other medications.
The OxyLife I mild HBOT chamber is a certified non-medical device. Device that is simple to install and use, ideal for clinics, hospitals, therapy centres, professional sports centres, wellness salons, and is also suitable for home use.
We transport and install the OxyLife I chamber, as well as provide the knowledge required to operate and manage your HBOT chamber.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is indicated for patients based on a treatment protocol determined by a certified medical practitioner to address specific areas based on a treatment protocol that prescribes the parameters of usage, such as atmospheric pressure, treatment duration, and number of sessions, as well as treatment safety.
Medical issues necessitate diverse procedures, with treatments lasting 60 to 90 minutes, administered on a schedule, at variable pressures (1-2.5 ATA), with daily sessions lasting 10 to 30 days.
Prior to therapy
A medical consultation is required before beginning any HBOT protocol to ensure that the potential patient is safe to use the HBOT chamber and does not have any conditions that preclude such treatment - claustrophobia, pneumothorax, significant pulmonary obstructive disease, history of ear surgery, uncontrolled high fever, chronic sinusitis and upper respiratory infections, and so on.
During sessions
Patients are recommended not to fly, dive, or smoke for at least 24 hours before or after treatment. The patient is subjected to regulated ventilation and continuous monitoring by a medical assistant for barotrauma, breathing difficulties, joint pains, reversible problems with visual acuity, gastrointestinal pain, numbness, or other consequences inside the OxyHelp HBOT chamber.
In general, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe operation.
Complications are uncommon. However, there are some risks associated with this treatment.
