1. What is HBO therapy?

HBO therapy is used in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, with pure oxygen under high atmospheric pressure produced in the chamber, specially for this type of therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy maintains health, youthful appearance, provides excellent physical and mental health.

HBO treatment is carried out under the supervision of a doctor, therapy is planned for each patient depending on his health condition.

2. The importance of oxygen in our body?

Oxygen in addition to food and water is one of the three most important elements in biochemical and physiological processes. Oxygen helps  maintain brain function, immune function and strengthen its defensive capability.

Oxygen is in the air, which contains about 1/5 of oxygen and 4/5 of nitrogen. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the blood is approximately equal to its concentration in the air.

A higher percentage of oxygen in the body is bound to hemoglobin in the blood, which is almost saturated under normal concentration of oxygen in the air.

3. What are the physiological mechanisms of HBO therapy?

Breathing pure oxygen under high pressure in a hyperbaric chamber causes an increased concentration of dissolved oxygen in the arterial blood plasma. The advantage is that the dissolved oxygen with plasma can reach places that erythrocytes cannot because of their size.

This oxygen is vital in situations where the red blood cells or hemoglobin due to a pathological change are not able to play their role (e.g. carbon dioxide poisoning or massive blood loss). 

4. What are the clinical indications for the use of HBO therapy?

HBO therapy is used preventatively as well for curative purposes. It is an extremely effective method for the treatment of many diseases such as stroke, heart attack, diabetes, osteoporosis, anemia, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, and impotence etc.
