HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment where a person is placed in a chamber where they receive 100% oxygen at a pressure greater than the normal atmospheric pressure.
These greater pressures mean that the oxygen administered may be referred to by a number greater than 100%; this indicates the relative pressure of the gases within the chamber. As a comparison, the air we normally breathe is around 21% oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy encourages red blood cells to carry extra oxygen. This oxygen-saturated blood then perfuses the tissues and encourages healing and improves circulation.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefits
HBOT allows much greater than usual oxygen concentrations in the body. In theory, any illness or disorder that is caused by reduced blood flow, or which could be improved by a better oxygen supply could be treated to some degree with HBOT. This means that the potential applications are incredibly widespread, and ongoing research is likely to expand the evidence base behind the use of HBOT for even more medical conditions.
The duration and frequency of HBOT sessions can be restrictive, but it has some compelling benefits: it has extremely good evidence behind its approved uses and is non-invasive, low-risk and painless. In addition, its use is usually much preferable to the alternatives; where nothing else has healed a diabetic leg ulcer or necrotic toe, the alternative may be radical surgical debridement or amputation.


Contraindications: Who should NOT undergo HBOT?
The only absolute contraindication to HBOT is a current pneumothorax – a condition where air is present in the chest cavity outside of the lung.
Certain medical conditions and some medications can be affected by HBOT so you should have a full medical history taken by HBOT specialist physicians before any course of treatment.
If you’re pregnant or could be pregnant, you should discuss this with your doctor before any new course of treatment. Pregnancy does not usually mean that you can’t have HBOT.
If you’re unwell on the day of your treatment, you should discuss your symptoms with the staff there.
