1.What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy medicine?

Hyperbaric oxygen medicine is an emerging discipline in clinical medicine, with its unique curative effect and broad development prospects. The method of treating certain diseases by placing patients in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber in an environment with a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure and absorbing pure oxygen is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The concentration of oxygen inhaled is 85% to 99%, and the blood oxygen content is several times or even dozens of times that of oxygen inhaled under normal pressure. It can effectively increase blood oxygen tension and increase blood oxygen content. It is useful for treating some acute and chronic deficiencies. Oxygen diseases have their own special effects.

2.The principle of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Use increased pressure to treat decompression sickness caused by diving.
Among other applications, hyperbaric oxygen uses its increased partial pressure of oxygen to provide therapy.
Increases the blood's ability to carry oxygen. At normal atmospheric pressure, most of the oxygen transported in the body is via heme, and a small part is via plasma. During hyperbaric oxygenation, the oxygen that hemoglobin can carry does not increase much, but it can greatly increase the oxygen that plasma can carry.

3.The main functions of hyperbaric oxygen

（1） Promote gas diffusion, improve hypoxia more quickly, eliminate carbon dioxide more quickly, and correct respiratory failure more effectively.
（2）Change the breathing pattern, reduce breathing resistance, and make breathing easier and less laborious.
（3）Helium-oxygen gas has a stable structure, uniform pressure, and safer and more reliable treatment.
（4） Quickly relieve spasms and relieve asthma
（5）It can effectively inhibit asthma attacks and the progression of COPD, significantly improving patients’ quality of life.
（6）The treatment range is wider and more effective, especially for asthma, COPD and pulmonary heart disease.

Recently，We have developed new products-HY100R Hyperbaric oxygen chamber Patient Monitor. It can measure SPO2, ECG, PR, RESP, NIBP, and TEMP of patients in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and can implement centralized monitoring of multiple patients through wireless transmission network technology.If you would like more information, please contact us.
