ABOUT

Hyperbaric Medicine

It is a non-invasive medical treatment in which the patient enters the Hyperbaric Chamber and breathes high concentrations of oxygen at a pressure higher than normal atmospheric pressure through a mask. It contributes to the recovery of various pathologies and is safe, since the number of sessions and their duration are always indicated by a physician.

Hyperoxia

It is a significant increase in the availability of oxygen in the blood that promotes cellular metabolism and allows a better arrival to the brain, cartilage, bones and tissues that do not receive oxygen adequately in some pathologies.

The treatment in the Hyperbaric Chamber generates a strong hyperoxia, unleashing a series of beneficial effects for the organism.

Mechanisms of action of HBOT

The patient breathes high doses of O2 in a hyperbaric environment.

High HYPEROXIA increases the volume of dissolved oxygen in the blood plasma.

The greater diffusion of oxygen reaches the less irrigated tissues.

HYPEROXIA produces a wide variety of physiological benefits to the body.

Physiological Effects

The Hyperbaric Chamber produces strong hyperoxia that generates different benefits for the organism.

Repair of peripheral neuronal fibers

Oxygen promotes nervous system plasticity.

Angiogenesis

Hyperoxia stimulates and promotes the formation of small blood vessels, thus improving perfusion.

Collagen synthesis stimulation

Hyperoxia induces proline hydroxylation and fibroblast proliferation. Thus, it promotes collagen synthesis, which is essential for wound healing and tissue repair.

Bactericidal activity

Hyperoxia generates reactive oxygen species that increase the activity of antibiotics. It is also active against bacterial biofilm.

Regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory response

Hyperoxia acts on regulators and mediators of the inflammatory response and decreases oxidative stress. This results in an anti-inflammatory effect and decreases cell damage.

Increases cerebral blood flow and neuroprotection

It improves perfusion thanks to the formation of new vessels and cerebral oxygenation, decreases edema and inflammation of the central nervous system.

Osteogenesis

Hyperoxia stimulates the differentiation of bone-forming cells, promotes osteogenesis and bone repair.

Decreases ischemia-reperfusion damage

It improves tissue microcirculation, decreases the production of reactive oxygen species and increases their degradation by stimulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes.
