What Are Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy And Hyperbaric Chambers

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be some thing you have never heard about

. Here we shall discuss about what it is all about. It is also known as HBOT. This therapy has proved to be useful among children. It has been found from tests that many children may have problem of lack in proper blood flow in their brains. However, this is common among many children. This lack of blood flow may be caused due to inflammation. The two types of inflammation: neuro inflammation and immune mediated inflammation can cause problems in speech. The oxygen is really helpful in carrying out metabolic functions of the brain and this oxygen is provided by the hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

This therapy has really helped in reducing inflammation, especially neuro inflammation. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been in use for many years for treatment of various health conditions. It has been primarily used in the treatment of burns and other skin related problems. This therapy is now being used for treating autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, diabetes and also heart diseases. Children who are suffering from Autism has shown great results because using this therapy there have been improvements in areas like speech development, cognitive functioning, metabolism support, decrease in inflammation and chemical mediators which boosts inflammation. This therapy helps in increasing blood flow into the brain which helps in overall metabolism and is also effective in reducing inflammation especially neurological inflammation.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is done in different ways. A clinic setting can be used and along with most clinics a hard Hyperbaric Chamber is used. In hard hyperbaric chambers the atmospheric depth ranges from 1 atmosphere to 2 atmospheres or more. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy range for people suffering from Autism is between 1.3 to 1.5 atmospheres. Another Hyperbaric Chamber is inflatable chambers which can either be taken on rent or can be purchased for using it at home. This chamber can be really helpful in treating a child suffering from Autism. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy range in inflatable chamber usually goes up to 1.3 atmospheres only; however some can go to as high as 1.5 atmospheres.

The difference between two Hyperbaric Chambers is mainly due to the different types of oxygen concentration that is used. This can be explained as in hard hyperbaric chamber there is a clinic setting and the patient normally gets 100% pure oxygen. However, in inflatable hyperbaric chamber which is used in home generally uses oxygen concentrator. This oxygen concentrator removes the nitrogen in the air by filtering it out and concentrating the room with oxygen which is delivered into the chamber through a tube. The oxygen that is delivered through the tube is not 100% pure oxygen; the oxygen concentration is about 50% to 75%. Although, in inflatable the oxygen concentration is not 100% still many children have been benefited with the use of such chambers.

Thus, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is really beneficial and can be provided to cure those who need it by using both Hyperbaric Chambers.
