ANESTHESIOLOGY

Anesthesia has been used in conjunction with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) since the 1960s. Hyperbaric medicine was first found to be useful in divers suffering from decompression sickness. Since this time, increased ambient pressure has been used to treat a variety of clinical conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning, arterial gas embolism, and decompression sickness.

What are the benefits of HBOT?

Wave

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy improves the quality of life for the patient in many areas when standard treatment isn’t working

Can HBOT help you?

Wave

Yes. It can benefit conditions where low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and inflammation are present

The Oxygen for Life

Wave

Oxygen can be used therapeutically for a wide range of conditions where tissues have been damaged by oxygen deprivation
