Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

“Enhanced healing through pressurized pure oxygen for better recovery and tissue repair.”

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Personalized for Women cancer care

What Is

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which a person breathes 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. This environment increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood, accelerating healing and supporting recovery in conditions where oxygen delivery to tissues is reduced or compromised.

HBOT increases oxygen saturation in blood plasma, enhances tissue repair through angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, and reduces inflammation—particularly beneficial for post-radiation tissue injury.

What Is

How HBOT Helps the Body Heal

Under high pressure, HBOT delivers therapeutic benefits through multiple mechanisms:

Increases oxygen saturation: More oxygen dissolves in plasma, improving delivery to tissues with limited blood supply

Promotes cell repair: Stimulates angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and stem cell activity

Decreases inflammation: Reduces oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines, minimizing pain and swelling

Enhances healing: Particularly beneficial for cancer survivors with post-radiation tissue injury

What Is

Approved & Clinical Uses

HBOT is FDA-approved or clinically accepted for several conditions:

Chronic non-healing diabetic wounds

Radiation tissue damage (osteoradionecrosis, radiation cystitis, proctitis)

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Gas gangrene and necrotizing soft tissue infections

Air or gas embolism

Skin grafts and flaps at risk of failure

Severe anemia and tissue crush injuries

What Is

What Conditions HBOT Can Help Treat

HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to tissues deprived of adequate blood flow or damaged by:

Non-healing and diabetic wounds

Radiation-induced soft tissue or bone injury (post-cancer radiation therapy)

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Soft tissue repair and post-surgical healing

Immune enhancement and infection control

Benefits of HBOT

Improves tissue oxygenation and cellular metabolism
Enhances wound healing and post-radiation recovery
Reduces inflammation and infection risk
Stimulates new blood vessel (angiogenesis) formation
Strengthens immune function and accelerates tissue repair
Reduces fatigue and increases overall energy, especially for cancer survivors

Types of HBOT Chambers

Monoplace Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit

Designed for one patient. A transparent acrylic tube that provides pressurization using 100% oxygen in a quiet, controlled environment for individualized sessions.

Multiplace or Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit

Can treat multiple patients simultaneously. Pressurized with air while patients inhale oxygen through masks. Some wellness centers use mild HBOT chambers (around 1.3 ATA pressure).

What Is

Risks, Side Effects & Safety

While HBOT is generally safe when performed by trained professionals, some temporary effects may occur:

Common side effects:

Ear discomfort or middle ear barotrauma due to pressure changes

Temporary myopia (nearsightedness)

Mild fatigue or lightheadedness after sessions

Rare complications include oxygen toxicity or lung barotrauma if procedure isn't properly managed. Risks are minimized through slow pressurization, rigorous monitoring, and adherence to safety protocols.

What Is

Who Should Avoid HBOT?

HBOT may be contraindicated for individuals with:

Untreated pneumothorax

Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Certain active ear or sinus infections

Uncontrolled fever or recent ear surgery

HBOT Results & Success Rate

The success of HBOT depends on the underlying condition and number of sessions prescribed. Most patients report:

Faster wound healing

Reduced swelling and improved tissue oxygenation

Better recovery from radiation-induced tissue damage

Enhanced energy levels and reduced discomfort

Studies show 70–90% success rates for approved indications such as radiation tissue injury and chronic non-healing wounds.

What Is

What Factors Influence HBOT Pricing?

HBOT pricing can vary depending on:

Number of sessions required (typically 10–40)

Condition being treated and individual response to therapy

Type of chamber used (monoplace vs. multiplace)

Session duration and oxygen concentration

Facility infrastructure and level of medical monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How long does each HBOT session last?

Each session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the medical protocol.

Q2. How many sessions are needed?

Most patients require 10 to 40 sessions, depending on the condition and treatment response.

Q3. Does HBOT hurt?

No. HBOT is non-invasive and painless. You may feel mild ear pressure similar to what occurs during air travel.

Q4. Can cancer patients receive HBOT?

Yes. Under medical supervision, HBOT can help manage radiation-induced tissue damage, support wound healing, and improve post-therapy recovery.

Q5. Are there precautions after treatment?

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session. Some may feel mild dizziness or fatigue, which resolves quickly.
