Our department has been using hyperbaric oxygen therapy on patients with early cerebral hemorrhage for many years and received good results. It has been observed clinically that many patients who are in continuous coma after cerebral hemorrhage are awake faster after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and their intelligence and limb functions recover earlier, which can greatly improve the quality of life of patients.

The main mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cerebral hemorrhage
1 Hyperbaric oxygen can reduce cerebral edema caused by cerebral hemorrhage, and achieve the effect of lowering cranial pressure.
2 Hyperbaric oxygen obviously increases the blood oxygen content and partial pressure of blood oxygen, and increases the diffusion distance of brain tissue capillaries, which can correct the state of brain tissue hypoxia and repair the brain tissue damaged by hypoxia.
3 Hyperbaric oxygen has a nerve repair effect, which can repair and regenerate damaged nerves.
4 Hyperbaric oxygen can promote the neovascularization of blood vessels, which is conducive to the establishment of new cerebrovascular collateral circulation.
Time of hyperbaric oxygen treatment
According to the current Beijing health insurance reimbursement scope for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cerebral hemorrhage with an onset of 3 weeks to 3 months is eligible for reimbursement.
In principle, patients with contraindications to hyperbaric oxygen therapy cannot undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and patients with high fever, convulsions, agitation that cannot cooperate with oxygen therapy and high blood pressure cannot be rushed into the chamber for treatment.
