Contact XYZ-Wellbeing on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Radiation Necrosis
Radiation induced soft-tissue and bone necrosis, while rare, presents a challenge to the treatment team. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), the administration of 100% oxygen under high pressure, can improve the situation. Such therapy greatly increases the amount of oxygen availabile to tissue. This is due to the gaseous/fluid (oxygen/plasma) interface that enhances oxygen absorption and transportation into the liquid phase of the blood. Cantact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for More about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Radiation Necrosis.
Cerebral Blood Flow Changes and Cognitive Improvement in Chronic Stable Traumatic Brain Injuries Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Anecdotal reports exist that attest to the efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to improve post-traumatic neurologic deficits by increasing blood flow in the ischemic penumbra despite protocol differences. Cerebral blood flow, speech, neurological and neuropsychometric testing have not been studied serially in patients undergoing HBOT for chronic stable TBI. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for more information on TBI and HBOT .
Hyperbaric Oxygen and Your Heart
In this article, the author has focused on hyperbaric oxygenation for cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack, in which it has found effectiveness. A few of the heart difficulties for which HBOT has produced results are mentioned. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for the Article on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and the Heart.
Local Firefighters and the Hyperbaric Center
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is currently used to treat a number of problems including: decompression illness (“the bendsâ€), air embolism, healing of tissue injury following radiation therapy for cancer, carbon monoxide poisoning (automobile exhaust, fire, etc.), and necrotizing soft tissue infections (e.g., gangrene and flesh-eating bacteria). It also enhances the healing of certain types of problem wounds and skin grafts. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and firefighters.
The Healing Powers of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment are placed in a chamber where 100% oxygen is circulated. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment was originally used to relieve scuba and deep-sea divers of a dangerous condition called decompression sickness or "the bends." Today, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society has approved use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for several other conditions other than the bends. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for more information on healing and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
ABC's of Oxygen Therapy
Over the past 40 years hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been recommended and used in a wide variety of medical conditions, often without adequate scientific validation of efficacy or safety. Consequently, a high degree of medical skepticism has developed regarding its use. Hyperbaric oxygen has been tried in numerous conditions and is often reported to be beneficial. However, in many of these situations the scientific evidence is flimsy and use should be restricted to randomized controlled trials.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Medical organizations currently recommends hyperbaric oxygen treatment for individuals with serious CO poisoning, with symptoms such as transient or prolonged unconsciousness, abnormal neurological signs, cardiovascular dysfunction or severe acidosis. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for more information on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Global Cerebral Ischemia/Anoxia and Coma
For a discussion of the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in global cerebral ischemia, anoxia and coma, we define HBOT as a medical treatment that uses high pressure oxygen as a drug, by fully enclosing a person or animal in a pressure vessel and then adjusting the dose of the drug to treat pathophysiologic processes of the diseases. Contact us here at XYZ-Wellbeing for more information on HBOT in Cerebral Ischemia and Coma.
