HBOT Specification

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen within a pressurized environment. HBOT lets patients breathe oxygen in special chambers at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. This creates an environment that can help generate new capillaries around injured tissues. This can create increased blood flow to the injured tissues and facilitate better healing. HBOT achieves this by using a special chamber where air pressure is typically 1.5 to 3.0 times higher than normal. Typically, this is repeated during multiple sessions over the course of weeks or months.

HBOT is also FDA-cleared for non-healing skin grafts, surgical wounds, diabetic skin ulcers, bone infections, acute trauma injuries, brain abscesses, and bone injury from cancer radiation treatment—just to name some of the more common uses. FDA clearance means private insurers (including Medicare) will frequently pay for patients to receive the appropriate frequency and length of HBOT for these conditions.

HBOT and Sports Injuries

You may have also heard about the benefits of HBOT in sports. Going back to Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens’s 2004 rapid recovery from an ankle fracture, daily HBOT to help him heal just weeks before Super Bowl XXXIX. In that game, Owens performed heroically.

Many other top athletes in professional sports have used HBOT to speed up recovery from injury and improve performance, including NBA star LeBron James, top ranking tennis pro Novak Djokovic, and Olympic swimming legend, Michael Phelps.

Today the use of HBOT has become quite common in the elite sports world to assist in recovery from injury. There is a large volume of growing research that proves its many benefits in elite athletes:

A 2018 study in the journal Nature revealed that on a microscopic level HBOT not only increases mitochondrial mass, but also reduces inflammation, thus aiding in more efficient and rapid soft tissue repair.
A 2019 study in Biomed Research International reported that by increasing the delivery of oxygen to areas of the muscles and soft tissues where oxygen is depleted by vigorous exercise and injury speeds up the recovery and increases endurance.
A 2022 study in Sports Medicine Journal found that HBOT results in significant improvements in mitochondrial respiration and increased mitochondrial mass, thus increasing performance of middle age athletes.

Types of hyperbaric oxygen chambers

Why it's done
Your body's tissues need an adequate supply of oxygen to function. When tissue is injured, it requires even more oxygen to survive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. With repeated treatments, the temporary extra high oxygen levels encourage normal tissue oxygen levels, even after the therapy is completed.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat several medical conditions. And medical institutions use it in different ways. Your health care provider may suggest hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have one of the following conditions:

Severe anemia.
Brain abscess.
Bubbles of air in your blood vessels, known as arterial gas embolism.
Burns.
Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Crushing injury.
Deafness, sudden.
Decompression sickness.
Gangrene.
Infection of skin or bone that causes tissue death.
Nonhealing wounds, such as a diabetic foot ulcer.
Radiation injury.
Skin graft or skin flap at risk of tissue death.
Vision loss, sudden and painless.

What happens during HBOT
Only a healthcare provider should prescribe HBOT. A number of hospitals offer these chambers. People relax, sit, or lie comfortably in these chambers and take deep breaths. Sessions can last from 45 minutes up to 300 minutes The time depends on the reason for the treatment.

Your ears may feel plugged as the pressure is raised. This is similar to when you're in an airplane or the mountains. Swallowing or chewing gum will "pop" the ears back to normal.

Your blood carries the extra oxygen throughout the body. This infuses the injured tissues that need more oxygen so they can start healing. You may feel lightheaded when a session is done. Mild side effects include claustrophobia, fatigue, and headaches. Always have someone drive you home after HBOT.
