Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 1.3 atm at room temperature is just as effective as 100% oxygen at 2.4 Atm as evidenced by research
Breathing regular air under hyperbaric oxygen conditions of 1.3 Atm leads to more than 50% elevation in tissue oxygenation. There are many case reports illustrating significant effects due to small increases in air pressure, including effects on the brain (2,3,4,5). Moreover, even a slight increase in partial pressure, such as to 1.05 Atm at altitude […]...Read More

NEW STUDY: CHILDREN WITH PERSISTENT POST-CONCUSSION SYNDROME SHOW BENEFITS FROM HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Mild traumatic brain injury to children can commonly lead to persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS).

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Inflammation :
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment ( HBOT) simply means providing oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure. Oxygen, it must be remembered, is a primary healer. Oxygen is required by every cell in the body for survival and providing an oxygen rich environment, will allow the body to heal itself and reduce areas of inflammation. During treatment in […]...Read More
HBOT in children with chronic brain injury
For brain injury there is a strong sense that conventional treatment has had little impact on outcome. The use of HBOT for chronic brain injury is based on the theory that, in any brain injury, there are inactive cells that have the potential to recover. According to this theory, these “idling neurons” exist in the […]...Read More
