During hyperbaric oxygen treatment, a patient breathes in 100 percent oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. Quickly delivering high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream helps speed the healing process of wounds, while helping to fight certain types of infections. HBOT also stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, improving circulation and aiding the growth of new tissue.
