hyperbaric medicine: pure oxygen to improve health

100% pure oxygen is the key to this variant of Medicine, which has applications in various diseases, injury rehabilitation, to tone the skin and even improve the immune system and, thus, prevent disease and prolong life .

Even without such spread in Mexico and other countries, hyperbaric medicine began to attract worldwide attention when he said that Michael Jackson turned to her to slow aging, remember? Later it was learned that Fidel Castro and even Pope John Paul II often occur bathroom oxygen in a special camera that meets this purpose, and that some top athletes do the same to recover from serious injuries.

The truth is that you have data from 1662 of hyperbaric treatment (hyper = increase, barium = pressure), which relate the first tests carried out by a British physician named Henshaw to improve seriously injured. The so-called “air baths” were popularized in the nineteenth century throughout Europe and led U.S. patients. In America, the first hyperbaric chamber was built in Canada in 1860, for treatment of nervous disorders.

Already in this century, NASA (U.S. agency for research in aeronautics and space) was entered in the study of oxygen in the fields of aviation and marine diving, which went beyond the scientific community-including medicine,” which led to the founding of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society) in 1967, thereby increasing their therapeutic applications.

The so-called hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a method that involves making the patient breathe 100% oxygen at a pressure between 1.5 to 3 atmospheres absolute (ATA), equivalent to the pressure that rests on the water to a depth of 5 and 20 meters. To put in other words, natural atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch (760 mm hg)-equivalent to one atmosphere absolute (ATA) – so that the rise to 2 or 3 times more aid to large amounts of oxygen to dissolve in the blood and other tissue fluids (10 to 15 times more), which makes the vital gas to all parts of the body, especially to areas affected by any injury or illness.

Oxygen is supplied through masks installed inside a capsule called a hyperbaric chamber, which is an airtight container built with welded steel plates, often cylindrical, with a number of systems and accessories to increasing pressure controlled, for some t iene the appearance of a spaceship.
