How does using HBOT help relieve brain swelling?
Hyperbaric Oxygen can help reduce brain swelling in different disorders, Stroke, T.B.I., and other disorders where swelling, edema, and inflammation is a problem. Drugs can reduce this swelling, however there is the need to supply the brain with needed oxygen. HBOT is helpful in reducing brain swelling by causing the vessels to contract. Once the extra fluid around the brain cells is drained away, the cells can function more effectively. It allows cell wastes to be more easily removed, which keeps the wastes from building up.
