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.
