Mechanism of HBO
HBO Therapy works by:-
Increasing oxygen tension in hypoxic areas such as chronically infected,
irradiated, or compromised tissues.
Enhancing Leucocyte killing ability (via the "oxidative burst").
Reducing oedema through vasoconstriction.
Stimulating fibroblast activity and new capillary formation in compromised tissues - neoangiogenesis.
