Hyperbaric oxygen therapy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to treat a variety of conditions including decompression sickness, non-healing wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, burns, and compromised skin grafts. HBOT is based on the principle that heightened atmospheric pressure combined with breathing pure oxygen triggers the body’s mechanisms for healing and tissue restoration.

Applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FDA has cleared hyperbaric chambers for 13 medical uses, referred to as on-label conditions. HBOT is, however, being used to treat an ever-growing range of conditions like TBI and PTSD, it has been adopted by elite athletes for performance training and the beauty industry as an anti-aging treatment. Such use is termed off-label (not usually covered) or compassionate use of HBOT. Some of the on-label applications include:<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patients sit or lie down in a sealed pressure chamber and breathe pure oxygen, which is either pumped into the chamber or fed to the patient via a mask. The pressure in the chamber is increased (up to at least 2 atmospheres), which should raise levels of oxygen in the patient\u2019s lungs, delivering more oxygen in the microcirculation, and in turn more oxygen to tissue \u2014 which can be measured with TcpO2.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assessing the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because it measures the amount of oxygen diffused through the skin, transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcpO2) can provide useful insights into the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. TcpO2 measurements can be taken before, during, and after HBOT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assessing patient eligibility for HBOT\u2014 wound healing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

People with underlying health conditions, such as severe cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or advanced age, may have impaired tissue healing mechanisms that limit their response to HBOT. Performing a TcpO2 baseline measurement and comparing that with TcpO2 oxygen challenge levels can help physicians assess how likely a patient will respond to HBOT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mono- and multi-place hyperbaric chambers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are either single-person cylindrical chambers \u2014 monoplace \u2014 or larger structures where several people can be treated simultaneously \u2014 multiplace. TcpO2 can be used in both scenarios. Typically, the TcpO2 device is placed outside the chamber with the sensors on the patient connected to the machine via a panel or built-in socket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Related products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We offer a range of products and accessories for carrying out TcpO2 measurements in conjunction with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our TcpO2 system is mounted on a cart to facilitate maneuverability between exam rooms and HBOT chambers and comes with an optional package for DICOM\/HL7 connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For multiplace chambers, we offer remote panels mounted inside the chamber and provide connectivity between the electrodes on the patient and the measurement device (outside the chamber).<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
