The hyperbaric oxygenation department is intended for the treatment, using oxygen therapy, of acute and chronic diseases in whose pathogenesis hypoxia (respiratory, circulatory, hemic, tissue, and mixed forms) is a key link.
Do you have impaired cerebral circulation or heart disease? Do wounds heal slowly, or do you often have headaches? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help with these and many other unpleasant symptoms and may support recovery in many conditions. The procedure is prescribed by specialists and can be performed at the hyperbaric oxygenation department in Kyiv at CSM. The department has experienced specialists and uses modern equipment.
So what is hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how is it performed? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a procedure performed in a hyperbaric chamber, a closed capsule with pressure inside higher than atmospheric, and is aimed at saturating the body's tissues with oxygen. In medicine, HBOT can be used for treatment in various fields. The procedure is also often performed for general wellness.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is prescribed in various fields of medicine:
Oxygen barotherapy is actively used in sports medicine and may help increase endurance and speed up the recovery of athletes after intense training. The method is also used in rehabilitation after sports injuries.
Healthy people can also visit the hyperbaric oxygenation department. Oxygenation under increased pressure activates adaptive capacities and may support the immune system and the stability of the internal organs and systems.
The indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy are very broad.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions may be prescribed for the following diseases and conditions:
Is a hyperbaric chamber right for you? Book a consultation at CSM Clinic: the doctor will check the indications and contraindications and determine the number of sessions.
Once the indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy are identified, any obstacles to sessions at the HBOT department must be ruled out. In the absence of contraindications, the hyperbaric chamber is considered a safe treatment option when used as prescribed.
Contraindications to hyperbaric oxygen therapy include the following cases:
Before prescribing hyperbaric oxygen therapy at CSM, the doctor carefully reviews the patient's medical history to avoid contraindications.
Barotherapy may be prescribed after a number of diagnostic procedures:
Before the hyperbaric oxygen therapy procedure, you need to:
On the day of the session at CSM in Kyiv, the patient comes to the HBOT department. The patient lies down in the hyperbaric chamber and stays in it for the entire procedure. A session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes.
Right after the procedure, the patient can go home. With proper preparation and when contraindications are avoided, oxygen therapy sessions are generally well tolerated.
A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed capsule with a small window, into which purified oxygen to be inhaled is delivered at a pressure of 0.7–1.3 bar. During decompression and recompression, the patient has sensations similar to those during an airplane takeoff or landing.
From 10 to 25 oxygen treatment sessions are given. During therapy at the hyperbaric oxygenation department, the doctor assesses the patient's condition and, if needed, adjusts the duration and number of procedures.
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not limited to saturating the body's tissues with oxygen. The effects of the procedure are broader.
Reducing hypoxia may improve heart function and normalize blood flow. These results are especially valuable in disorders of peripheral circulation, which is difficult to stabilize with vasodilators.
Increasing the level of oxygen in the blood stimulates metabolism. The penetration of a larger volume of oxygen into the cell causes the synthesis of high-energy compounds, stimulates microsomal oxidation, and speeds up glucose oxidation and the removal of breakdown products.
Oxygen therapy sessions may have a positive effect on neuroregulation, improve muscle tone, help stabilize the coordination of the cerebral cortex and recovery from depression, and help restore strength after severe illnesses and injuries. Increasing the level of oxygen in the blood supports tissue regeneration and may aid the healing of stomach and duodenal ulcers or other damage to the gastrointestinal organs. Stimulation of immunity may increase resistance to infections.
HBOT may improve the condition of some patients with mental disorders. Mental disorders are linked to impaired cerebral circulation, and stabilizing it, even at the capillary level, may help improve the condition of patients with neuroses, depressive states, alcohol intoxication, and other conditions.
The overall positive effect of oxygenation may slow destructive processes and lead to an increase in partial pressure. In burns, frostbite, and necrotic processes, oxygen therapy sessions may help prevent or slow the development of irreversible changes and give the body time to develop compensatory reactions.
Treatment at the HBOT department has the following results:
The effects of visiting the hyperbaric chamber may be noticed in some patients. HBOT sessions may have a lasting effect and may help improve quality of life.
