    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Therapeutics

    Background:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy involves administering pure oxygen at pressures exceeding atmospheric levels.
    • HBO therapy is recognized for its utility as both a primary treatment and adjunctive therapy across diverse medical conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To inform family physicians about the applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
    • To emphasize the importance of early HBO treatment for indicated disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of pure oxygen under hyperbaric conditions.
    • Application as a primary or adjunctive therapeutic modality.

    Main Results:

    • Increased oxygen availability to hypoxic or anoxic tissues.
    • Creation of an environment hostile to anaerobic microorganisms, aiding infection control.
