How can HBOT help dormant brain cells with oxygen?
Just giving oxygen at the surface or at normal atmosphere sometimes is not enough to improve oxygen deficiency. Normal pressure simply cannot put enough oxygen into the blood stream or the cerebrospinal fluid. HBOT with pressure greater than the normal atmosphere helps improve oxygen deficiency in some patients. It is hoped that in the future, Hyperbaric Oxygen may be used in emergency trauma centers to reduce edema and brain swelling. Answer: There is strong evidence that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help by preventing burn shock, or circulatory failure produced by massive fluid loss. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy inhibits wound infection, both by helping to support the bodys infection- fighting white cells and by helping to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy aids in the survival of skin grafts and flaps by reducing the rate of complications and reducing the need for fluids. Often HBOT help the patient cope with other serious problems that accompany burn
