Hyperbaric Medicine

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric medicine refers to a mode of medical treatment known as “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)” that enhances the body’s natural healing process. This is achieved through the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen in a total body chamber maintained at a much higher pressure than normal and under a controlled environment. As a part of an overall medical care and treatment plan, this therapy is now being employed in a wide variety of treatment procedures.

The diabetic patient is allowed to lie down on a bed comfortably placed in a submarine-like chamber where they breathe in an oxygen-rich surrounding with its 100% pure supply. The pressure within the chamber is maintained at about two and a half times that of normal atmospheric value. This respiratory process at super high pressure, called hyperbaric breathing, allows the blood to carry along increased quantities of oxygen to the body organs and tissues. The entire procedure is carried out under a strictly controlled and balanced environment.
