Hyperbaric oxygen treatment protocols

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen levels in the blood and tissues. Treatment protocols vary based on the condition being addressed but typically involve multiple sessions, usually lasting 60-120 minutes each, scheduled daily or several times a week. The pressure is usually set between 1.5 to 3 times normal atmospheric pressure. These sessions promote healing, fight infections, and reduce inflammation by enhancing oxygen delivery. The exact number of treatments depends on the diagnosis and response, with some conditions requiring a series of sessions over weeks or months.
