    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a medical treatment.
    • It involves breathing 100% oxygen at pressures greater than one atmosphere.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the principles and established indications for HBO therapy.
    • To explain the physiological mechanisms underlying its efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of animal studies.
    • Analysis of clinical trials.
    • Synthesis of extensive clinical experience.

    Main Results:

    • Efficacy is based on reducing gas volume and increasing tissue oxygenation.
    • A set of 12 indications for HBO therapy has been established.

    Conclusions:

    • HBO therapy has a physiological basis for its effectiveness.
    • Multiple lines of evidence support its use in 12 specific conditions.
