Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy is an essential part of some chronic wound treatment plans. Patients breathe 100% oxygen while under pressure in a hyperbaric chamber. This increases the oxygen level in the bloodstream, which improves cell and tissue growth and helps the body eliminate poisons.
Our three state-of-the-science hyperbaric oxygen chambers are large, comfortable, and surrounded in clear acrylic allowing patients to see out in all directions. Each chamber is equipped with a reclining bed, music and a television for comfort. A supervising technician is always in the room.
The uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy approved by Medicare include:
- Actinomycosis
- Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
- Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
- Central retinal artery occlusion
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- Compromised skin flaps and grafts
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Crush injuries
|
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Gas gangrene
- Osteoradionecrosis
- Progressive necrotizing infections
- Soft-tissue radionecrosis
- Hemorrhagic cystitis
- Radiation proctitis
