PEDIATRICS

PEDIATRICS

The pediatric patient is to be found in hyperbaric facilities throughout the world, receiving hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for both life-threatening and chronic diseases.

Therapy with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) was first used in pediatrics in Russia in the 1920s (1927). At present, HBOT is used in children in similar indications as in adults, as well as in perinatal, neurologic and neuro-developmental conditions, even though there is only limited evidence of it offering any benefit for such conditions.

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
