Method of hyperbaric oxygenation - treatment in a hyperbaric chamber


Most pathologies develop precisely because of oxygen starvation, when tissues begin to die and various inflammatory processes appear. Therefore, the main reason for the emergence and successful development of chronic diseases is precisely hypoxia. In addition to chronic diseases, the mechanism of oxygen starvation also causes cancer. After all, for a malignant tumor, the right environment is very important, in which there is the opportunity to develop and to resist drugs. Namely, such a favorable swamp is a tissue where the cells lack oxygen, as a result they do not receive the necessary nutrition, and the cancer tumor has the opportunity to grow successfully.

Some time later, when scientists in the world have come to realize the importance of this and the lack of oxygen the process, there was the idea that the disease, which develops from a lack of oxygen, can be treated with medicines not, namely oxygen enrichment. This method is called HBO, which means hyperbaric oxygenation. The discovery took place in the middle of the 20th century, in 1955, for a long time he improved and throughout the day has only the best reviews.



How does hyperbaric oxygenation work?

Oxygen is transmitted through the body's cells through blood, which in turn is enriched through the lungs. If there are problems in the blood vessels, such as thrombi, edema and other diseases, the blood does not get into all the organs in the amount in which it is needed, as a result, hypoxia begins. When oxygen starts flowing into such cells and tissues, the regeneration process is started, and at the site of dead cells appear live, dead cells are removed, recovered and diseased help cleanse the body. It must be said that cells can recover very quickly.

For this, a person is placed in a specially created pressure chamber, it is artificially injected with a pressure of a certain value, while enriched oxygen is supplied. As a result, the blood is saturated with oxygen, more than normal, which allows it to penetrate into those areas of the body, where previously there was no access. At the same time, certain organs receive much needed oxygen, after which the cells immediately begin to engage in regenerative and cleansing work. It should be noted that this applies to absolutely all types of tissue, muscle and cartilage, bone and even nervous. Moreover, this method of supplying oxygen contributes to the normalization of adipose tissue, i. E.while fat tissue will not increase, as is the case with other tissues, but rather the extra fat tissue is burned, while fat content of myelinated nerve fibers stronger. To

useful oxygen treatment

Given the nature of many diseases, oxygen treatment will be useful in a huge number of diseases, wherever there is a violation of the peripheral circulation. As already mentioned, it can include all without exception chronic forms of diseases, as well as problems with the cardiovascular system. In addition to treating existing diseases, HBO is very good as a prophylaxis, to strengthen the body and human immunity. Knowing how this method works, enriching the body with valuable oxygen, it can be directed in any direction, it is often used to treat cancer.

Here is just the main list of diseases that can be treated with oxygen:

  • furunculosis;
  • anemia;
  • paradontosis;
  • problems with circulation of blood in the extremities, incl. With diabetic foot;
  • for diabetes mellitus;
  • Raynaud's disease;
  • scleroderma;
  • ischemia of the heart;
  • obliterating endoarteritis;
  • for chronic enterocolitis;
  • after strokes and heart attacks with severe consequences;
  • for cirrhosis of the liver;
  • for hepatitis;
  • diffuse-toxic goiter;
  • in the case of chronic and acute pancreatitis;
  • psoriasis;
  • hearing loss;
  • inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs;Pressure sores;
  • for abstinence due to drug or alcohol use;
  • ulcers of 12 duodenum or stomach;
  • Multiple Sclerosis;
  • with a number of mental illnesses that occur on the soil is not properly circulating the brain;
  • for obesity;
  • patients with oncology, when they underwent a course of radio and chemotherapy.

Hyperbaric oxygenation is hardly the only way to recover from severe toxicosis due to carbon dioxide, as well as other products and pesticides that are released during combustion. It should also include those substances( cyanides) that bind oxygen in blood cells. Very useful method of HBO in air embolism and during decompression, in the case of gas gangrene, if the wounds do not heal for a long time, in case of suffocation or frostbite. It is necessary to mention traumatic ischemia and with severe traumatic compression.

Similar oxygen courses not only help recovery, but also exclude the possibility of complications due to injuries or heavy operations. HBO is used for rehabilitation after complex injuries of athletes, with heavy physical exertion and excessive fatigue. If there is chronic insomnia, this method is also extremely effective. Owing to the possibilities of oxygen, sometimes one can not use medicinal treatment at all or partially relieve it. This approach is very useful for children or if the liver is severely disturbed, it can also help pregnant women avoid taking dangerous antibiotics.

Hyperbaric oxygenation is contraindicated in

Strange as it may seem, even oxygen treatment may be contraindicated in people with certain diseases or in a certain condition. Sometimes the HBO method can lead to worsening, it is often a mental illness. So:

  • in ARI;
  • epilepsy;
  • with a cyst, abscess;
  • cavities in the lung;
  • if there is hypertension, which is resistant to forms of therapy, when blood pressure is higher than 160/90 mm Hg. P.
  • for bilateral lung inflammation;
  • with claustrophobia;
  • with pneumothorax, if there is no drainage;
  • with sinus disease, with the presence of polyps, with inflammation of the sinuses, with abnormalities, with violation of Eustachian tubes or problems in the appendages of the nose, with swelling.

Conducting HBO

The person is housed in a pressure chamber, a vessel or capsule similar to an underwater bathyscaphe, it is airtight, several windows have been made for observation. In the chamber, the person is placed in a horizontal position on the back. All that is required of him is to lie quietly and breathe enriched and pure oxygen. The capsule has a lot of different sensors, which are responsible for the correct operation of the device, for oxygen and pressure inside the chamber. In addition, the sensors monitor the general condition of a person. The data comes to the computer of the doctor and the nurse, they are located throughout the entire HBO session side by side.

A pressure chamber is not in vain similar to a bathyscaphe, conditions are created there, as if at a depth of 5 m under water. At times, people feel that their ears are piling up because of pressure, but it's not for long, sometimes it helps to just swallow saliva, but there are no other strange sensations. The full course of HBO depends on the illness and the doctor's testimony, as a rule, it is 5-10 sessions, each session in duration also depends on the disease, from 20 minutes to one hour.

It is unequivocally noted that after the successful completion of the entire course, a person feels an improvement in their disease, and in addition, his overall well-being is much improved. It is for this reason that hyperbaric oxygenation is recommended as a prophylaxis and course of general recovery of the body, without any diseases.
