All About Hyperbaric Therapy or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)


Hyperbaric chambers, used in hyperbaric therapy or HBOT are any number of enclosures, which can be pressurized to allow a person inside to experience higher atmospheric pressures than the normal environmental pressures.

At higher elevations, the barometric pressure is lower. This decrease of pressure also decreases the oxygenation of blood and is known as anoxia—where molecules of oxygen exert less stress on the walls of the alveoli (Dalton's Law). HBOT follows this law.





How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) work?

Hyperbaric - Increased atmospheric pressure as a means of increasing oxygen uptake without an enriched oxygen source Hyperoxia - Increased total oxygen content.

Hyperbaric is based on the concept of the relationship of gas pressure and uptake in liquids (blood, plasma, and tissues). Henry's Law states that "a gas is dissolved by a liquid in direct proportion to its partial pressure." For example, at sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg, the oxygen concentration is 21%, and the body's oxygen content or partial pressure, pO2, in blood and plasma is ~ 40 mm Hg.



•  Reduction of amount of gas bubbles in the blood
•  Vasoconstriction, which reduces edema and secondary hypoxia
•  Restoration of aerobic metabolism to ischemic tissue
•  Detoxification of poisoned tissues
•  Enhanced phagocytosis

Henry's Law- Henry's law states that for a gas-liquid interface the amount of the gas that dissolves in the liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. So Henry's law helps to predict how much gas will be dissolved in the liquid. The actual amount also depends on the solubility of the gas as well as its partial pressure. Dalton's Law-John Dalton observed that the total weight of a gas mixture was the sum of the forces of each of the gases if they were to exist on their own.
