1.How does Hyperbaric work?
Hyperbaric is a technology in which the air pressure in the environment
is increased. When a person's body is placed in a more pressure
environment, it absorbs more oxygen molecules per volume of
compressor air. The body normally transports oxygen via the
hemoglobin of the red blood cells. By increase the air pressure, oxygen
is then driven into the body's fluids, allowing the super-saturation of
tissues and organs with oxygen. The increased pressure infuses the
body with oxygen, even reaching injures with damaged corculation.
2. Why Is Oxygen So Important?
Every day an average adult consumes 2 kg of food, 1 liter of water and
almost 550 liters of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from
oxygen and the rest food and water. Our brain is 2% of the total weight
and uses of 25% of the oxygen we breath. We need this oxygen for
the energy cycle that sustains life. When we do not have enough
oxygen in our body tissues a series of events occur that if not corrected
lead to disease conditions, either infection,tissue destruction or both.
If there is low oxygen in tissues (hypoxia) there is a short window of
opportunity to correct it. An excellent method to correct tissue hypoxia
is by using a hyperbaric chamber.
3. What do you feel inside a hyperbaric chamber?
When the chamber is pressurization, your ears may feel pressure
changes. You might feel a little painful in ears. To equalize the pressure
and avoid the feeling of fullness in ears, you can yawning, swallowing
or "blow the nose". Other than this ear pressure there are no usual or
different sensations.
4. What improvements can I expect to see?
This is one of those questions which has so many different variables
and answers we will have to generalize. We will answer this question
from general experience and with the understanding that no 2 people
get the same results. It is very rare that we do not use see
improvements. What we are looking for is an improvement in the
quality of life for anyone.
5. When will I know how many sessions of hbot are enough?
You will not. What you will be able to notice is whether you are
continuing to get improvements. A clinical study on 1730 subjects
shows the need of around 15 sessions for acute injuries and 40 for
chronic ones.If you saw results during the first 4- sessions, do another
40. If improvement continues,do another 40. Etc. Etc. You are a better
judge of the number of sessions needed than any Doctor.
