Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) uses increased pressure to deliver more oxygen to tissues, aiding healing for wounds, radiation effects, and neurological conditions. This therapy shows promise in various medical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Hyperbaric medicine
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Hyperbaric medicine utilizes elevated atmospheric pressure to enhance oxygen delivery to bodily tissues.
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT), also known as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), involves breathing 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the rationale, current trends, and applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • To highlight the growing global interest and diverse uses of HBO therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical applications of hyperbaric medicine.
  • Description of the therapeutic process involving specialized pressure chambers.

Main Results:

  • HOT is indicated for acute traumatic wounds, crush injuries, burns, gas gangrene, and compartment syndrome.

  • Patients with non-healing ulcers, bed sores, and radiation therapy sequelae benefit from HBO.
  • Emerging applications include treatment for acute hearing loss and certain neurological conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers life- and limb-saving interventions for various acute and chronic conditions.
    • There is a renewed and expanding interest in the therapeutic applications of hyperbaric medicine globally.
