Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com A little while ago I fielded a question about breath hold divers of the non human kind. The question was simple enough, "Do dolphins and whales also benefit from the effects of higher pressure of oxygen as they dive, as humans do in a hyperbaric chamber?" The answer proved a… Continue reading Whales, Turtles, Decompression and Hyperbaric Chambers
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Presenting a slightly shorter read today we address wound healing, especially problematic wound healing. We have refrained from posting graphic images of before and after wound scenarios, but these are available. In many books and papers there are comparative images taken before and after HBOT directly illustrating the improvement. Empirical… Continue reading Wound Healing
Photo by Pawan Yadav on Pexels.com You may ask what altitude has to do with HBOT. The answer is simple enough, the same physics apply to altitude considerations as they do to increasing pressure considerations. Note: Hyper-baric is the increase of ambient pressure and hypo-baric is the opposite, the reduction of ambient pressure. The physics… Continue reading Altitude, The Hyperoxic Hypoxia Paradox, and The Common Sense Paradox
Photo by Edu Carvalho on Pexels.com I guess this counts as one of the few vanity treatments which extend a little beyond the core therapeutic treatments we promote. Or does it? Many of the core therapies we support the use of HBOT for, include neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia, recovery form injury, improvement in cognitive… Continue reading Anti Ageing & HBOT
Image by Arek Socha from Pixabay Building on previous articles about emergency medicine, severe blood loss, and even the article telling of experiments done in the 1950's by It Borema et al, in which they removed the haemoglobin from piglets, only to have them survive in a hyperbaric environment (covered in the article LIFE WITHOUT BLOOD), today's science… Continue reading Hyperbaric Oxygenation and Severe Anemia and Low Haemoglobin Count
Photo by Chris LeBoutillier on Pexels.com Of the three indicated and accepted conditions for routine treatment this one is the most confusing in how it’s treated. The condition must be acute before HBOT is indicated and commissioned for use in the UK. In other parts of the world health departments are less reluctant and it's… Continue reading HBOT for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com In 1959 a study was published in the Journal of cardiovascular surgery by a researcher and surgeon Dr Ite Borema. The brief synopsis to this is that in an experiment, researchers replaced the blood in pigs with ringers lactate solution and plasma, thus removing almost all the haemoglobin. Certainly they… Continue reading Life Without Blood
By: Hayden Dunstan Covered in more detail in the paper entitled “Hyperbaric Oxygenation and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Treatment – An Overview”, available for download on the website, sports injury and its associated complications can be relieved greatly and recovery can be accelerated with the help of HBOT. Swelling: As described under the heading ‘Oxygen… Continue reading Benefits of HBOT for Sports Injury
