Hyperbaric oxygen chamber provides high-concentration oxygen environment, which creates favorable conditions for oxygenation of body tissues, thus promoting rehabilitation and treating diseases. Oxygen plays a vital role in human metabolism, especially in healing and repairing injured tissues. In hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the concentration of oxygen inhaled by patients is usually higher than the natural environment, which is helpful to improve the partial pressure of oxygen in blood and promote more oxygen to dissolve in blood, thus increasing the oxygen supply in all parts of the body. This has a positive effect on relieving patients' pain, promoting wound healing and reducing inflammatory reaction.
In the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the air pressure is usually adjusted to a higher level than the atmospheric pressure. This increased air pressure helps to improve the oxygen absorption efficiency of the lungs. In addition, by increasing the air pressure, oxygen can be more dissolved in the blood, thus accelerating the delivery to all parts of the body. This is of great benefit to some chronic injuries, post-traumatic rehabilitation, burn healing, post-radiotherapy repair and adjuvant treatment of some chronic diseases. For example, hyperbaric oxygen chamber can be used to treat anthrax infection, necrotizing fasciitis and other infectious diseases requiring high oxygen level, and to promote the healing of chronic wounds and improve diabetic foot ulcers.
In addition, the application of hyperbaric oxygen chamber also involves the auxiliary treatment of some diseases. For example, for some diseases caused by brain hypoxia, such as stroke and brain injury, hyperbaric oxygen chamber can provide extra oxygen, which is helpful to relieve patients' symptoms and promote the repair of nerve tissue. After radiotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber can also be used to reduce radiation damage caused by radiotherapy and accelerate the recovery of damaged tissues. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen chamber can also be used to treat some chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Reduce the level of inflammation and relieve the symptoms of patients.
Although hyperbaric oxygen chamber has shown positive effects in many aspects, it needs to be used with caution. First of all, hyperbaric oxygen environment has a certain physiological effect on human body, which may lead to some side effects, such as otitis media and oxygen poisoning. Secondly, not all diseases are suitable for hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment, so careful evaluation and doctor's advice are needed before use. In addition, the equipment and maintenance of hyperbaric oxygen chamber are expensive, so it may not be popularized in some areas and medical institutions. When using hyperbaric oxygen chamber, it is also necessary to consider the individual differences of patients and the timing and duration of treatment.
Generally speaking, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, as an auxiliary treatment, has played a positive role in promoting physical rehabilitation and treating certain diseases. However, it still needs to be carefully used under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure safe and effective treatment.
