Wink Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has many other important medical uses?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has many other important medical uses.
Such uses are speeding up healing, helping problem wounds heal faster, fighting life threatening infections, saving amputations in people with circulatory problems and many more.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen while the pressure of the treatment chamber is slowly increased above atmospheric pressure. It has been known for years that healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissues. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provides oxygen to damaged tissues and allows the body's natural healing process to take over.
high dose oxygen, breathed at increased atmospheric pressure (hyperbaric), is used clinically to treat several types of disorders. Some of the approved uses of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for acute medical emergencies include carbon monoxide poisoning, air embolism (sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by an air bubble), decompression sickness (commonly referred to as "the bends" suffered by deep sea divers), and gas gangrene.
In addition, HBO2 therapy has been used to treat a variety of neurological problems such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other miscellaneous nervous system problems. The application of HBO2 therapy to neurological problems is still in its infancy, however, because of the lack of relevant research on this potentially important area. Our research project is designed to study how HBO2 affects cells in the central nervous system in an animal model.
