What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

0

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) is a treatment which improves the body’s natural healing process by the inhalation of 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The chamber is pressurized with ambient air to 1.75 ATA (1.75 x normal atmospheric pressure) The patient breathes 100% through a special clear breathing hood or mask. The oxygen level in the patient’s blood stream is increased many times above normal, this helps control infections and promote healing in many different kinds of illness or injuries.
