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.
