hyperbaric medicine: who recommended?Hyperbaric Medicine has more applications, some surprising, with encouraging results. For example, one of the main effects of increased oxygen (hyperoxia) is to mitigate the damage from the toxins that naturally oxidants lead to aging of cells, if we add the fact of increasing the production of collagen (a substance that Firmazo gives the skin), the aesthetic effects are amazing.

Moreover, hyperbaric oxygenation bone regeneration (osteogenesis) in fractures or osteoporosis (become porous and weak) and fixes the tissue hypoxic states, ie, carries oxygen to tissues throughout the body, which helps to reduce inflammation to accelerate the healing process from minor burns or injury, to graft and reimplantation of limbs, and even in the reconstitution of damaged tissue by radiation, gangrene or necrotizing infections in which a flesh-eating bacteria, it is noteworthy that the restore tissue includes tissue located in the gastrointestinal area (gastric ulcer).

It also activates the body’s natural defenses (immune system), which is reflected in the rapid recovery from infectious processes or as few of them.

Furthermore, hyperbaric oxygen inhibits the development of rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of the tissue that lines the joints) because it can suppress swelling, have better results if prescribed as a treatment in early stages of the problem.

Furthermore, having the brain more oxygen significantly improve concentration and memory. It also reduces inflammation anywhere in the body or neurons, and prevents blood clots by making it cleaner and lighter.

It is important to note what happens in cases of cerebral palsy, and it is an injury to a part of the brain usually associated with premature birth, with poor circulation or low oxygen activity, and those who suffer from this problem improve their low muscle tone ( hypertonia).

Also, note that multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord, which have nerve fibers that are wrapped and protected by myelin, a substance that facilitates the conduction of electrical impulses between them. If it is destroyed or damaged electrical communication, and from the brain is interrupted, the Hyperbaric Medicine creates a favorable environment for the repair of myelin, while reducing the overactive immune system that is causing damage to the substance .

Several studies have shown that 90% of migraine patients experience complete pain relief when treated for at least 10 sessions. The patient with diabetes also get positive results when undergoing hyperbaric medicine, as it increases your immune defenses, active insulin, stimulates healing (which is difficult in these patients) and improves blood circulation.

Moreover, a common problem among those who practice diving is the air intake on blood vessels (called air embolism), although complications often occur in medical procedures. Usually there are no consequences if the air is in a vein, but when it lodges in an artery can block blood flow, which is of serious consequences, for example, if one of these bubbles are located in a brain artery can lead to stroke or death. Then, hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by removing nitrogen (can have toxic effects) of the bubble, plus it reduces the size of it.

Facial paralysis (or Bell) is characterized by the sudden weakness of one side of the face, which is usually treated with a derivative of cortisone (steroids) to reduce swelling of nerves involving facial movement. Recent studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen is more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs, both to shorten the duration of the disease and to increase the likelihood of full recovery.

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by frequent episodes of redness, peeling and itching that can occur suddenly or gradually and can affect any age but usually starts between 15 and 35. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation treatment has shown that high percentage of patients experience a very noticeable recovery after 10 sessions.

These are just some examples of the results that the use of hyperbaric oxygen provides the body.

Before entering

As stated previously, oxygen is delivered to the patient through a special camera, but before joining must meet certain provisions, like getting 100% cotton clothes, no accessories or metal objects, unscented creams and/or makeup of any kind on the body. A session is usually prescribed daily-which has a duration of 50 minutes on average,” although each disease has its own treatment regimen, which includes parameters such as system pressure, exposure time and number of sessions.

Once or patients (there are cameras that can accommodate up to 25 people seated), are prepared, the device conforms to the pressure indicating treatment, it is worth reiterating that breathing pure oxygen through masks hermetic or earbuds designed for this purpose. The patient is always accompanied by trained and qualified to address any eventuality.

Adverse effects are minimal, the most frequent sense of fullness in the ears, similar to that experienced during a flight or to climb a mountain, “which is presented to compensate for the pressure in the organ of hearing, these annoyances can be solved by chewing gum or yawning. We should note that access to the hyperbaric chamber will be restricted to those with claustrophobia, ie exaggerated fear of enclosed spaces, which can alter emotional stability.

Finally, note that hyperbaric medicine is often part of comprehensive treatment of certain conditions, for example, recovery from surgery or in processes that require prolonged attention, such as osteoporosis.
