1.3ATA Equipment Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber

1.How does Hyperbaric work?

Hyperbaric is a technology in which the air pressure in the environment

is increased. When a person's body is placed in a more pressure

environment, it absorbs more oxygen molecules per volume of

compressor air. The body normally transports oxygen via the

hemoglobin of the red blood cells. By increase the air pressure, oxygen

is then driven into the body's fluids, allowing the super-saturation of

tissues and organs with oxygen. The increased pressure infuses the

body with oxygen, even reaching injures with damaged corculation.

2. Why Is Oxygen So Important?

Every day an average adult consumes 2 kg of food, 1 liter of water and

almost 550 liters of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from

oxygen and the rest food and water. Our brain is 2% of the total weight

and uses of 25% of the oxygen we breath. We need this oxygen for

the energy cycle that sustains life. When we do not have enough

oxygen in our body tissues a series of events occur that if not corrected

lead to disease conditions, either infection,tissue destruction or both.

If there is low oxygen in tissues (hypoxia) there is a short window of

opportunity to correct it. An excellent method to correct tissue hypoxia

is by using a hyperbaric chamber.

3. What do you feel inside a hyperbaric chamber?

When the chamber is pressurization, your ears may feel pressure 

changes. You might feel a little painful in ears. To equalize the pressure

and avoid the feeling of fullness in ears, you can yawning, swallowing

or "blow the nose". Other than this ear pressure there are no usual or

different sensations.

4. What improvements can I expect to see?

This is one of those questions which has so many different variables

and answers we will have to generalize. We will answer this question

from general experience and with the understanding that no 2 people

get the same results. It is very rare that we do not use see

improvements. What we are looking for is an improvement in the

quality of life for anyone.

5. When will I know how many sessions of hbot are enough?

You will not. What you will be able to notice is whether you are

continuing to get improvements. A clinical study on 1730 subjects

shows the need of around 15 sessions for acute injuries and 40 for

chronic ones.If you saw results during the first 4- sessions, do another

40. If improvement continues,do another 40. Etc. Etc. You are a better

judge of the number of sessions needed than any Doctor.
