HBOT is oxygen delivered under pressure. This is a means of delivering oxygen at higher concentrations for medical and prescriptive purposes.


The limiting factor of oxygenation at normal pressures (1.0 ATA) is our own blood and tissue physiology.


At 1.0 ATA, the red blood cells are able to carry only a limited amount of oxygen, which includes a very small percentage (about 3%) dissolved into our blood plasma.


At higher pressures, oxygen is more readily dissolved in all bodily fluids, including blood, plasma, lymphatic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid and the fluid between cells.


This increase in oxygenation helps to reverse states of tissue oxygen depletion, known clinically as hypoxia, which is often the cause of most cellular damage during disease states.


Research has concluded that oxygen administered to healthy patients results in an action called vasoconstriction, meaning that once their blood vessel walls and surrounding tissues have been sufficiently saturated with oxygen, the vessels themselves constrict to restrict the flow of blood to the tissues.


However, in damaged tissues, where oxygen toxicity is less of a concern due to an already depleted state of tissue oxygenation, the vessels remain open and dilated until the hypoxic state is reversed.


This phenomenon allows the oxygen to be routed through the body in exactly the pathway in which it is most needed by the tissues.


How does this benefit patients?
