Possible side effects when using hyperbaric chamber

Hyperbaric chamber method is a method that has both therapeutic and nursing effects. This method is quite safe and easy to accept, even infants and the elderly can be prescribed hyperbaric oxygen therapy. So does hyperbaric oxygen therapy cause any side effects?

High pressure oxygen treatment process

When starting treatment with hyperbaric oxygen, the patient will be brought into the high pressure chamber, monitored by observation and communication with the microphone with the technician, and then turn on the treatment button. A course of hyperbaric oxygen is from about 1-2 hours/day, the therapy will depend on the specific condition of each patient and the purpose of treatment.

What is the procedure to finish the treatment of hyperbaric chamber?

For severely ill patients, it may be necessary to lie in a hyperbaric chamber for 8-10 hours. At the end of the depressurization phase, the pressure in the chamber returns to atmospheric pressure, then open the chamber lid to let the patient out. After finishing treatment with hyperbaric oxygen, the patient will be re-checked pulse, blood pressure, breathing rate.

Patients will rest for 5-10 minutes and then go home if the results are not abnormal. Your doctor will tell you whether or not to perform any course of treatment or when to do it.

What is multi-place hyperbaric chamber?

Currently, Vietnam is using multi-site hyperbaric chamber, i.e. used for many patients at the same time. Multi-place chamber is having 2 or more treatment compartments that can treat even serious patients who need to be resuscitated with high pressure conditions. All types of multi-chamber

What are the possible side effects when using hyperbaric chamber?

Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has both therapeutic effects and is safe and receptive to many subjects. This method has almost no side effects because it does not introduce foreign substances into the body. However, during treatment with hyperbaric oxygen may appear some manifestations such as:

  • Patients with hypertension when entering the room continues to increase
  • Must continue to control blood pressure to a safe level
  • Hypotension is one of the possible complications after endotracheal anesthesia
  • Control the patient’s blood pressure at a safe level while in the hyperbaric chamber
  • If the patient is afraid of a closed room, it is necessary to reassure, explain and encourage the patient
  • If the patient has an earache during the process of pressurizing, the medical staff outside the chamber should stop, when it is okay, and then continue doing it
  • Similarly, if many measures are taken and the patient still has ear pain, they must give them a doctor.

What are diseases in which hyperbaric chamber treatment is not good for health?

Patients with some of the following diseases will also not be treated with hyperbaric chamber such as: c

  • loosed air abscess
  • Pneumothorax
  • Epilepsy
  • Hypertension
  • Inflammation of the nose and throat
  • Sinuses
  • Ear infections between

The concept of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in hyperbaric chamber

Oxygen treatment is a method of using a pressurized gas generator of pure (or high-concentration) oxygen at high pressure to treat and nurse patients.

Why it is necessary to supplement the body with oxygen?

Oxygen plays the most important role in human life. Every metabolic activity in the body, from the molecular, cellular to organ levels, requires O2. It can be said that O2 is the substance that sustains life. Oxygen is essential for life that’s why hyperbaric chamber is a great facility. Having hypoxia is the main cause, the primary cause, having hypoxic disease is an important step in the pathogenesis.

Principle of high pressure oxygen

The content of gases in general and oxygen in particular in the human body is suitable and adapted to environmental conditions 1 at, oxygen content 20-21%. In that condition, oxygen is transported from the lungs to the cells by the following ways:

  • Combined with hemoglobin in the form of HbO2 is a biological transport, playing a major role
  • Oxygen dissolved in plasma, water, tissues and body fluids

Here the body is considered as the aquatic medium. Gases entering the alveoli come into contact with the aqueous medium through the alveolar membrane. At normal pressure the dissolved form makes up a negligible amount. In 100 ml of blood there is only about 0.3 ml of dissolved oxygen. While the body’s need for a mineral is 6.65 ml of oxygen in 100 ml of blood.

Why dissolved oxygen is important?

Oxygen is provided with hyperbaric chamber. Dissolved oxygen is important because it is the direct form of use by the cell. Conjugated oxygen (HbO2) to the cells must also be converted to a soluble form for the cells to use. Dissolved oxygen can be increased by increasing inhaled pressure and oxygen content.

 

For every increase in inspiratory oxygen pressure by 1at at constant temperature, the amount of dissolved oxygen in 100ml of blood increases by 2.3ml. Hyperbaric oxygen has used this property of oxygen to rapidly and actively increase the amount of oxygen supplied to the body.

Meaning of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

It is a method that has both therapeutic and nursing effects using hyperbaric chamber. It is a safe method that is easy to accept even from newborn babies to the elderly. The method does not introduce foreign substances into the body, so there are almost no side effects. It has the effect of treating many diseases at the same time but does not reduce the significance of the effect for each specific disease.

Indications and contraindications 

  • Indications:Hyperbaric oxygen is effective in the treatment of many diseases, including those with absolute indications and many diseases as a combined treatment method with hyperbaric chamber.
    + Diseases with absolute indications
    – Poisoning with carbon monoxide and other toxic gases
    – Decompression sickness of divers and pilots
    – Anaerobic infections, gas gangrene
    + Treatment support

Summary

The hyperbaric chamber is the need of the hour for everyone. We cannot specify it to particular fields. It simply has a lot of benefits. Now, there are portable oxygen chambers also that you can take anywhere. Moreover, you can also buy oxygen chambers for animals.
