What are the side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

The side effects of hyperbaric oxygen mainly include pneumatic pressure injury, oxygen toxicity, decompression sickness, etc., as follows: 1, pneumatic pressure injury: mainly middle ear pneumatic pressure injury, sinus pneumatic pressure injury, pulmonary pneumatic pressure injury, mainly due to the pressure imbalance inside and outside the body in the process of decompression; 2, oxygen toxicity: including brain type, lung type, eye type, hemolysis type, mainly due to the body in the inhalation of high concentration of oxygen for a certain period of time, manifested as the body tissue and organ Damage, generally under the conventional hyperbaric oxygen therapy program will not appear poisoning, unless there are some patients, such as oxygen sensitive, hyperthermic patients prone to oxygen toxicity, generally do not need to consider; 3, decompression disease: due to the environmental pressure drop too large, too fast caused by the formation of bubbles in the body to block the blood vessels and affect the tissue damage, generally will not produce decompression disease, except in emergency unloading conditions; 4, some patients in clinical may do it continuously, without resting in the middle, dozens or even hundreds of times, perhaps such patients may occasionally develop myopia and cataracts, which can be gradually relieved after 2 weeks of rest.
