What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Metropolis, the Garden of Eden that everyone aspires, struggles and chases after! Here, you can be ambitious, show yourself and realize your dreams. However, today, in this bustling, noisy city, the challenges and pressures of life, environment (haze, sandstorms, floating dust) and career are always troubling every one of us. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been widely used in clinics for 50 years so far, which is applicable to dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo, headache, insomnia, dreaminess, tinnitus, hearing loss, hemiplegia, anxiety, depression, memory loss, unsteady walking, traumatic brain injury syndrome, blood vessel clogging, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, long-term non-healing wounds, numbness of the limbs, etc., which is of great practical significance. At the same time, the healthy people also have good health care, health care, rehabilitation. First, what is hyperbaric oxygen therapy? In an environment higher than one atmospheric pressure, inhalation of high concentration of oxygen to treat the process of disease, known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen can make the blood supply and oxygen concentration of tissue cells increased, its energy synthesis increased, metabolism strengthened, cell division, proliferation, growth acceleration, systems, organs, tissues and organs of the function are enhanced, where hypoxia, ischemic disease, or due to hypoxia, ischemia caused by a series of diseases, or need to repair, regeneration of the disease, hyperbaric oxygen therapy have significant curative effect. What is the role of hyperbaric oxygen? 1. Promote the role of cellular aerobic metabolism, correct cellular hypoxia, so that the cells can carry out adequate aerobic metabolism; 2. Broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, not only anti-anaerobic bacteria, but also anti-demanding bacteria; 3. Can make the arterial contraction of oedema sites, reduce the local blood volume, reduce edema; 4. Promote leukocytes bactericidal; 5. Promote the antibacterial effect of certain antibiotics; 6. . increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier; 7. promote the discharge of harmful gases; 8. increase the diffusion distance of blood oxygen; 9. regulate the immune function; 10. health effects. Third, what kind of feeling in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is non-invasive and painless, and the treatment itself does not require syringes or medication. The patient only needs to wear an oxygen mask and sit or lie in the chamber. The temperature in the chamber will increase after the pressurization begins, but then the air conditioner will bring it down to a comfortable temperature, and the temperature in the chamber will decrease during depressurization, when the air conditioner will also make adjustments. Pressurization, you will feel the change of pressure in the ear (similar to the airplane in the landing feeling), at this time can be used to yawn, swallowing action or “pinch the nose drumming” and other ways to adjust, generally can quickly eliminate this discomfort. In addition to this change in ear pressure, there is generally no other abnormal or uncomfortable feeling. Fourth, the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in various departments of the emergency department acute CO toxic encephalopathy, harmful gas poisoning (natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, phosgene, etc.), other toxic poisoning (cyanide, pesticides, sleeping pills, quinine, gasoline, etc.), cardiopulmonary resuscitation after acute cerebral dysfunction (electrocution, drowning, constriction, asphyxiation, narcotics accidental injury, etc.), pulmonary edema (in addition to cardiogenic pulmonary edema), Cerebral edema, gas gangrene, tetanus and other anaerobic infections, air embolism, adjuvant treatment of shock, etc. Neurosurgery: craniocerebral injury (concussion, cerebral contusion, brainstem injury, diffuse axonal injury), postoperative removal of intracranial hematoma, spinal cord injury, postoperative cerebrovascular disease, postoperative benign intracranial tumors and after-effects, radiological brain and spinal cord injuries, and cerebral edema. Neurology ischemic cerebrovascular disease (cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism), sequelae of cerebrovascular accidents, cerebral hemorrhage recovery, plateau acclimatization insufficiency, vegetative state, facial neuritis (Bell’s palsy), motor neuron disease, viral encephalitis and sequelae, vasovascular neurological headache, phytoneurological dysfunction, acute infectious polyradiculitis, Peripheral neuritis, multiple sclerosis, progressive muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral atrophy, sciatica, intercostal neuralgia. Otorhinolaryngology: sudden deafness, tinnitus, Meniere’s syndrome, vertigo, postoperative ear and nose organ fracture, etc. Orthopaedic fracture and post-fracture bone healing, after the broken finger (finger, toe) reimplantation, after thumb reconstruction surgery and other post orthopaedic surgery, crush injuries and crush syndrome, osteomyelitis, spinal cord injury, radiological or aseptic osteonecrosis, cervical spondylosis, geriatric lumbar pain, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, fascial interval syndrome, sports injuries and so on. Ophthalmology centralized plasma choroidal retinitis, optic nerve atrophy, retinal vascular obstruction (central artery obstruction, central vein obstruction), etc. Stomatology periodontal disease (inflammation), recurrent ulcers, aphthous ulcers, dental reimplantation and transplantation after surgery, orthodontics after surgery, etc. General and other surgical peripheral vascular lesions (vasculitis, Raynaud’s disease, deep vein thrombosis, etc.), paralytic intestinal obstruction, cellulitis, post-transplantation rejection reaction, etc. Coronary heart disease (angina pectoris, old myocardial infarction, etc.), myocarditis, tachyarrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation, premature beats, sinus tachycardia), etc., in the Department of Cardiology. Gastroenterology peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, etc. Adult respiratory distress syndrome, bronchial asthma and so on. Endocrinology diabetic complications (e.g. diabetic foot, skin ulcer, neuritis), etc. Obstetrics and Gynecology intrauterine growth retardation, deep mycosis, pregnancy complications (diabetes mellitus, eclampsia, heart disease), pre-eclampsia, expired pregnancy, intrauterine distress of the fetus, etc. Pediatrics cerebral palsy, neonatal asphyxia, various kinds of encephalitis and sequelae, etc. Chronic skin ulcers (arterial blood supply disorder, venous stasis, pressure sores), pityriasis rosea, pemphigus, etc. in Dermatology. Burns and Plastic Surgery Department: Post-implantation, post-plastic surgery, burns (scalds), frostbite, etc. Oncology malignant tumors (with radiotherapy or chemotherapy), radiation injury.
