Hyperbaric oxygen refers to pure oxygen that is breathed in excess of the atmospheric pressure environment. Its specific effects mainly include increasing oxygen concentration, inactivating anaerobic bacteria, and treating brain diseases.
1. Increase oxygen concentration: Hyperbaric oxygen can significantly increase the physical solubility of oxygen in the blood, which can effectively increase the diffusion rate and diffusion distance of oxygen.
2. Inactivate anaerobic bacteria: in the state of hyperbaric oxygen, it can destroy the sulfhydryl group of bacteria, destroy its growth environment, and then treat some anaerobic bacterial infectious diseases, and at the same time, it also has a certain inhibition effect on aerobic bacteria.
3. Treatment of brain diseases: Hyperbaric oxygen can make the brain oxygen supply normal vasoconstriction, and make the damaged area of the brain vasodilatation, and then reduce cerebral edema, but also can improve the partial pressure of oxygen in the brainstem reticular activation system, and then repair brain damage.
Hyperbaric oxygen has a wide range of roles, but with certain indications, must be under the guidance of the doctor for treatment, not blindly use, so as not to produce other adverse effects.
