Surgery, Wound Care & Injury Recovery

During surgery, skin and/or cartilage may be cut and repositioned. Around these cuts there is compromised blood flow due to damage to blood vessels and the interruption to oxygen carrying red blood cells. Since blood carries life-giving oxygen, which is essential to the healing process, it is critical that these compromised areas receive enough oxygen in order to heal properly. The swelling and edema that accompany surgical can also compress nearby vessels, further compromising blood flow and oxygen delivered to the affected cells at the wound site

Hyperbarics as a Natural Adjunct to Surgery, Wound Care & Injury Recovery:

Hyperbaric Therapy is not experimental nor is it a new treatment for wounds and burns. It has been used in hospitals as a treatment for wounds and thermal burns since 1965. Cells which are deprived of oxygen may lie dormant and eventually die. Oxygen is very important to wound healing. Given the appropriate conditions and with the help of hyperbaric therapy, viable cells from healthy areas migrate into wounds and start to reproduce.

Additionally, hyperbaric therapy can enhance the amount of oxygen present in the blood as well as allow oxygen to reach the compromised area by forcing oxygen to dissolve into plasma. This additional oxygen can make up for some of the loss of blood and oxygen to the compromised areas. The quicker oxygen restoration occurs results in a better recovery. The patient heals significantly faster. Therefore, the decreased healing time is likely to result in less scar tissue around the compromised area.
