Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process. At HOPE Vascular & Podiatry, our hyperbaric medicine services aim to accelerate wound healing and promote tissue repair.
Innovative treatment, state-of-the-art equipment, and a focused team providing you with visible results.
- Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is a specialized medical therapy that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. It is used as an adjunctive therapy for chronic wounds that are difficult to heal, such as diabetic foot ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds, and radiation-induced tissue injuries.
- During HBOT, the patient enters a hyperbaric chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased to higher than sea level. The patient breathes in 100% oxygen, which saturates the bloodstream and enhances oxygen delivery to the body’s tissues. This increased oxygen supply stimulates wound healing, boosts the immune system, and promotes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the affected area.
- The pressurized oxygen environment helps to combat infections, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair. HBOT also aids in reversing tissue hypoxia, a condition where cells receive insufficient oxygen, which is crucial for the healing process. HBOT is typically administered as a series of sessions, with each lasting about 60 to 120 minutes. The exact number of sessions needed depends on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. The therapy is painless, and patients can relax inside the chamber, read, or listen to music during the session.
- Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is an effective and well-established therapy for chronic wounds, especially when combined with standard wound care techniques. It is often used as part of a comprehensive wound management plan to improve healing outcomes, reduce the risk of amputations, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life. However, the suitability of HBOT for a specific wound must be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional with expertise in wound care and hyperbaric medicine.
