People who need hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment:
Divers and astronauts: In diving or space activities, due to the rapid changes in the external pressure, which may lead to decompression sickness or cosmic radiation sickness and other diseases, hyperbaric oxygen chamber can provide a high concentration of oxygen to accelerate the discharge of the body's gas, to relieve these disorders.
Traumatic brain injury or cerebral ischemia patients: hyperbaric oxygen chamber can increase the blood oxygen content, improve the hypoxic state of the brain, accelerate the repair and regeneration of brain tissue.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients: Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber can improve the hypoxic state of COPD patients, reduce the respiratory rate, and alleviate the respiratory difficulties.
Burn patients: Burns can lead to skin damage, affecting the body's normal metabolism and immune function, hyperbaric chambers can increase blood oxygen levels and promote wound healing.
Principle of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber:
The principle of hyperbaric oxygen chamber is to increase the solubility of oxygen in the blood by increasing the environmental pressure. Under normal circumstances, the oxygen inhaled by the body is in a gaseous state, while the oxygen in the blood is in a dissolved state. At atmospheric pressure, the solubility of oxygen in the blood in the gaseous state is very low, but in a high-pressure environment, the solubility of oxygen in the blood increases dramatically. Therefore, in the hyperbaric chamber, the solubility of oxygen in the blood is increased by increasing the ambient pressure, thus increasing the blood oxygen level and improving the oxygenation state of body tissues. At the same time, hyperbaric chambers can reduce air bubbles in the body, helping to alleviate conditions such as decompression sickness.
It should be noted that the use of hyperbaric oxygen chambers requires strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations and operating procedures, and the therapeutic effect on certain diseases is not immediate. Before using the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, you should consult a professional doctor or relevant experts to understand whether your health condition is suitable for using hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment.
