Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Lexington Healthcare, Bengaluru

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutic treatment where you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This treatment is designed to increase the oxygen levels in your blood, accelerating healing, improving circulation, and supporting overall health. At Lexington Healthcare, we provide HBOT to treat various conditions, from chronic wounds to injuries and infections.

What to Expect During HBOT Treatment

When you undergo HBOT, you will be placed in a specially designed pressurized chamber where you breathe in 100% oxygen. The pressure in the chamber is 2-3 times the normal air pressure, which allows the oxygen to dissolve into your blood at a much higher level.

Each treatment session usually lasts between 60 to 90 minutes.

The most common sensation during the treatment is ear popping as the pressure changes, similar to the feeling when ascending or descending in an airplane. You may also feel relaxed or slightly fatigued afterward.

HBOT is non-invasive, and most patients find the treatment comfortable. You will be monitored throughout the session to ensure your safety and comfort.

Key Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Accelerates Healing

HBOT helps wounds, especially chronic or diabetic wounds, to heal faster by delivering more oxygen to the affected areas.

Improves Blood Flow

The therapy encourages the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), improving circulation to areas with poor blood flow.

Supports Tissue Regeneration

HBOT enhances the body’s natural healing processes, regenerating tissues that may have been damaged due to injury, infection, or surgery.

Boosts Immune Function

By increasing oxygen levels, HBOT boosts the body’s ability to fight infections and heal tissue.

Reduces Pain

Many patients experience reduced pain, especially those recovering from injuries or surgeries.

Reduces Inflammation

It effectively reduces inflammation, helping with conditions like sports injuries, arthritis, and swelling.

Risks of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Although HBOT is generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential risks to be aware of, especially if not performed correctly. These include:

Ear or Sinus Pain

The increased air pressure may cause discomfort in the ears or sinuses during treatment, similar to what you might feel during a flight.

Oxygen Toxicity

While rare, prolonged exposure to high oxygen levels can lead to oxygen toxicity, potentially affecting the lungs, eyes, or central nervous system.

Fire Hazard

Due to the high concentration of oxygen, the chamber is a fire hazard. However, strict safety protocols are followed to minimize this risk.

Temporary Fatigue or Headache

Some patients may experience mild fatigue, dizziness, or headaches after the session, which typically resolves quickly.

Who Can Undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT is effective for a wide range of conditions, but not everyone is a candidate. Here’s who can benefit from the therapy:

Those suffering from wounds that do not heal easily, especially those related to diabetes or poor circulation.

Patients recovering from sports injuries, burns, or fractures.

Particularly those caused by bacterial infections or radiation damage.

Conditions like stroke, brain injuries, or cerebral palsy that can benefit from increased oxygen to the brain.

Post-radiation tissue damage or radiation injuries.

Conditions like vascular disease, chronic leg ulcers, or arterial insufficiency can benefit from increased oxygen levels in tissues.

Those seeking overall health benefits, improved recovery, and tissue regeneration.

However, certain individuals may not be suitable for HBOT, including those with untreated lung diseases or untreated ear infections. A consultation with a specialist at Lexington Healthcare will help determine if HBOT is the right treatment for you.
