HOW HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (HBOT) WORKS:
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless gas
that makes up about 21% of the atmosphere. It is essential for life for two
main reasons:
1. Oxygen is one of the body’s basic
building blocks. All of the body’s major components – water, protein,
carbohydrate, and fat – contain oxygen.
2. Oxygen helps promote certain
chemical reactions within the body that result in energy production. Energy is needed
for proper circulation, respiration, digestion, temperature control, and many
other important functions.
Nature has proven that healing cannot
take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the body’s tissues. Many
serious health problems stem from or are complicated by tissues having low
oxygen levels. In many cases adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged areas. Without
adequate oxygen in the tissues, the body’s natural healing process fails to
function properly, and we begin to see damaged tissues, decreased tissue
function, slow healing, dry & sagging skin, aging, fatigue, wrinkles, and a variety of other symptoms.
Oxygen given under normal atmospheric
pressure is not enough to raise tissue oxygen levels to reverse this lack of
oxygen because red blood cells cannot carry and release enough extra oxygen. In
order to overcome the oxygen starvation and raise tissue oxygen levels high
enough for optimal healing to occur, the oxygen must be delivered under
slightly increased atmospheric pressure.
Blood is made up of three main
components: White blood cells that help fight infection; red blood cells that
carry oxygen; and plasma, which is the fluid that carries both kinds of cells
throughout the body.
Normally, only the red blood cells
deliver oxygen, via a protein called hemoglobin, to the body’s tissues and
cells. A healthy person’s hemoglobin is 97% saturated with oxygen when exposed
in our lungs to normal air, or 100% saturated when breathing pure oxygen. Whether
breathing air or pure oxygen, the limited number of red blood cells can only
deliver a certain level of oxygen to the body’s tissues.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a
300 year old medical treatment that consists of administering 100% oxygen at
greater than atmospheric (sea level) pressure in order to improve and correct
certain medical conditions. The underlying principle of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy is quite simple: HBOT saturates the body and its tissues with oxygen so
they can function properly.
When HBOT is used, you are breathing 10
times the regular amount of oxygen under increased pressure. These increased
oxygen molecules are not only dissolved in the red blood cells, but also forced
into the blood plasma, which makes up the bulk of the blood. This allows oxygen
to be delivered to every parts of tissues and cells that that may be deprived of oxygen.
In short, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
(HBOT) works by saturating a person’s blood and plasma with oxygen resulting in
increased oxygen delivery to tissues. In fact, because HBOT forces oxygen into
the body under pressure, oxygen dissolves into all of the body’s fluids including
the blood plasma, the lymph, and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain
and spinal cord. All of these fluids carry the extra oxygen to the tissues and
cells of the body, even where circulation is poor or blocked.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Has Three Phases:
1) Compression: After the doors are closed, you can hear the compressing gas circulate.
2) Treatment: Treatment begin when pressure reaches the prescribed level. During the treatment you may rest, sleep, meditate or read a book.
3) Decompression: The attendant lets you know when the treatment is complete. The pressure then is slowly lowered at the rate which is comfortable.
Using HBOT to increase the oxygen level
in body tissues produces several long-term therapeutic effects and facilitates
healing through a number of mechanisms, such as:
• Growth of new blood
vessels and capillaries to increase blood flow
• Relief of oxygen
starvation (hypoxia)
• Enhancement of the
immune system
• Reduction of free
radicals that may continue to cause tissue damage
• Constriction of
blood vessels (vasoconstriction) to decrease swelling & edema
• Protection of the
integrity of cell membranes so they can function properly
• Stimulation of
fibroblasts (cells involved in wound/tissue healing)
• Increasing collagen
synthesis
• Increasing ability
of white blood cells to destroy bacteria and remove toxins
• Decreasing the
number of viruses in the blood
• Detoxification
