What Does HBOT Do?
The major effects of blood oxygen changes during HBOT inlcudes:
Hyperoxia
Higher Oxygen level – the most important effect – providing more oxygen to healing tissues.
Oedema Reduction
Vasoconstriction reduces oedema (swelling) of the tissues.
Antibacterial
- Accelerates “oxidative burst”
- Supports phagocytosis (immune cell destruction of bacteria)
- Antibiotic effect on anaerobes (bacteria that do not actually require oxygen and are damaged by it)
Anti-toxic
- Neutralizing the toxin of Clostridial gas gangrene
- Substitute Carbon Monoxide gas in Carbon Monoxide
