BRIEF HISTORY OF HBOT 1662 - British physician to treat pulmonary disease and help with digestion. 1891 - Doctors in U.S. began using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat
nervous disorders 1895 - Was found to be effective in treating carbon monoxide poisoning. 1928 - The largest hyperbaric chamber for $1 million in Ohio by Dr.
Cunningham. It was a 5 story high steel ball that contained 60 rooms 1934 - A U.S. Naval officer found hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be effective in
treating decompression sickness. 1961 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating gas
gangrene. 1963 - The first International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine convened in
USA 1966 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating stroke
patients. 1970 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating
multiple sclerosis. 1988 - The International Society of Hyperbaric Medicine was founded. 2000 - Hyperbaric medicine was approved by the American Board of Medical
Specialties as a sub-speciality of emergency and preventative medicine.
HYPERBARIC
Hyper = More or increased
Baric = Related to Pressure
More Pressure
Word “Hyperbaric” derived from Hebrew word for “More Pressure”
More Pressure Related to Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the (amount of normal ) pressure exerted at sea level.
This pressure is referred to as
One Atmospheric Pressure : 1 ATA
ATA ( Atmospheric Absolute )
Henry’s Law(An increase in atmospheric pressure allows for more gas to
be dissolved into any given liquid at constant temperature)
(Henry’s law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is equal to the partial pressure of the gas exerted on the surface of the liquid. By increasing the atmospheric pressure in the chamber, more oxygen
can be dissolved into the plasma than would be seen at surface pressure.)
The human body is composed almost completely of water. Gas... under pressure...
dissolves in water.
Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHBOT
Intermittent treatment with 100 % oxygen
at a greater pressure
than the normal atmospheric pressure
HBOT & Dissolving Oxygen
During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT )100% oxygen
dissolves in
blood plasma, body cells, tissues and fluids.
This is 5 times more than normal !!!!
Portable Hyperbaric ChamberReferred to as “MILD HBOT” as pressure used in less than 1.5 ATA
