OXIVITA The Power of Oxygen
How It Works
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is that the patient breathe 100% oxygen for a continuous or intermittent manner within a chamber, at a pressure greater than 1.4 atmospheres absolute interior. This treatment dates back to 300 years ago, and was gradually applied to different pathologies.
HOW DOES hyperbaric oxygenation?
When pure oxygen can manage on a hyperbaric environment, either car or multiplaza hyperbaric chamber, a proportional increase in blood pressure of oxygen, which can exceed 2000 mm occurs. Hg, an ambient pressure of 3 ATA (ATA = Atmosphere Absolute.)
Hemoglobin soon reaches its saturation state (100 percent) and oxygen due to the higher pressure is dissolved in the plasma in an amount 20 times greater than normal, allowing transport up to 5 mL more of O2 per 100ml. plasma.
The plasma transport is independent of O2 O2 content of saturated hemoglobin, the new blood condition characterized by containing as much O2 and O2 partial pressure much higher than that achieved under normal conditions, this mode allows the O2 diffuse 5 times greater distances from capillaries to tissues (64 microns to 260 microns), generating higher oxygen pressures holders, especially useful in areas of tissue hypoxia (low O2 pressures of 30 mmHg)
In general, almost all diseases, a phenomenon of general local tissue hypoxia and / or produced, thus, providing additional oxygen at the expense of the volume transported by the plasma and increased pressure, provides a therapeutic benefit various diseases.
HBO is applied for:
- Recovery tissues suffering;
- Refractory lesions, frequent relapses.
- Injuries requiring surgical debridement or amputation;
- Clinical conditions in which it is the only treatment;
- Serious and / or complex lesions;
- Failure to respond to conventional treatments;
- Rapidly deteriorating with risk of death;
- Soft tissue injuries: face, hands, feet, perineum, genitals, breasts;
