Hyperbaric Chamber Systems for HBOT Oxygen Therapy. By administering oxygen in high concentration within an environment of increased atmospheric pressure as an adjunct to other required treatment under successful management and a team approach, reversal of degeneration of tissue can occur for health and recovery. Hyperbaric chambers have been used for many years to recompress deep-sea divers suffering from severe decompression sickness, or the bends. HBOT restores central nervous system perfusion and increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma.
Vasoconstriction occurs to reduce swelling.
Carbon monoxide molecules dissociate from hemoglobin. Fibroblasts, osteoclasts, granulocytes and leukocytes are stimulated to improve healing of wounds. In diabetic related wounds, gas gangrene's production of toxin from clostridial organisms cease. Cellular function is dependent on the availability of oxygen in the blood deal of blood loss or reduction of blood circulation to tissues or organs, the deteriorating tissues need increased oxygen to be kept alive and properly heal. HBOT disperses higher amounts of oxygen at two and one half times normal pressure, dissolved oxygen in plasma and tissues is increased 12-fold.
