What is hyperbaric oxygenation - application in phlebology

At the present time, a rather popular procedure for therapy is hyperbaric oxygenation( HBO).The procedure is a highly effective method that involves oxygenation of the body.

For the treatment, unique equipment is used - baro-cameras, which are equipped with monitors, to which the parameters of the altitude chamber and indicators of the organism are derived.

Hyperbaric oxygenation is performed only under the supervision of a specialist who has certain skills in working with equipment. In addition, the treatment with a pressure chamber is also prescribed by a doctor.

The use of HBO is designed to increase the oxygen content in all liquid media of the human body. As a result of this method, the following reactions are observed:

• all organs are saturated with oxygen, thereby satisfying the body's needs;
• the body produces substances that stimulate the proper functioning of all systems, organs and cells, which significantly increases life expectancy.

Principle of operation of

equipment After the patient is placed in a pressure chamber, every cell of the body is supplied with oxygen. Often this method is used when blood flow in the vessels is impaired. In this case, oxygen regenerates cells that are amenable to recovery and at the same time destroys those that can not be restored in order to build new ones.

The pressure chamber artificially increases the pressure and oxygen is supplied, which leads to active blood saturation. And with the current of the latter it is carried throughout the body, filling with oxygen all the tissues and organs that need it.

After the body has received the necessary, a restorative process begins that affects bone, cartilaginous, nerve, muscle and other tissues. An essential advantage is that oxygen normalizes fat tissue, burning excess and strengthening necessary.

Scope of application

Areas of medicine in which hyperbaric oxygenation is applied:

1. With acute circulatory disturbance in the brain and hypoxic edema .
2. As well as in the intensive care unit or intensive care unit for renal and hepatic insufficiency, severe form of combined trauma, purulent-septic states, critical post-hypoxic conditions and acute limb ischemia.
3. Applied in pediatric orthopedics and traumatology .The need for the procedure arises after combined and combined injuries, scalp and extensive injuries, not fusing fractures, microcirculation of tissues and organs, plastic surgery and others. And also it is worth noting that this method of recovery is used in thoracoabdominal surgery, urology and purulent surgery.
4. With gastroduodenitis, erosive esophagia, dyskinesia of the gastrointestinal tract and bile ducts and other in gastroenterology .
5. With cystitis, reflex neuropathies, chronic pyelonephritis, interstitial nephritis, renal dysplasia and hypoplasia of in neurology .
6. This method of treatment is also used by in the otolaryngology of in several cases: with progression of chronic SNT and acute form of deafness and deafness.
7. It is used for the recovery of in toxicology , after snake bite, poisoning with FOS, carbon monoxide, methhemoglobin-forming poisons and others.
8. With enuresis, poststavmatic paresis of peripheral nerves, vegetovascular dystonia, astheno-neurotic syndrome, concussion and neurocirculatory dystonia in neurology .

The method of HBO in phlebology

Hyperbaric oxygenation is actively used in phlebology. Such a measure is necessary in order to protect the peripheral and central nervous system from hypoxia.

The procedure is indicated for diseases affecting the veins, lymph nodes and vessels, for example, thrombophlebitis and phlebitis. Often this method of recovery is used as an auxiliary method of therapy for trophic ulcers due to antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.

At present in phlebology various designs of pressure chambers are used, in the elimination of diseases affecting limbs, separate pressure chambers are used in which they are placed.

During the procedure, the pressure increases and decreases. This, in turn, improves the lymph flow. The most effective method is with trophic ulcers.

Hyperbaric oxygenation affects the entire body, in addition to improving blood circulation and eliminating the symptoms of such a disease as varicose veins. The best results use of this method of treatment shows in the early and middle stages of the development of the disease.

HBO in indications and contraindications

Indications for the use of hyperbaric oxygenation:

• recommended procedure for atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis, chronic heart failure, cardiac rhythm failure and ischemic disease;
• in case of optic atrophy and retinal pathology;The
• procedure is indicated for atherosclerosis of the arteries of the extremities at the initial and intermediate stages, with Reynaud's syndrome, and with obliterating endarteritis;
• in case of 12 duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcer;
• indications for HBO are diabetes mellitus;
• with excess weight as a complex treatment and rejuvenating agent;
• hearing loss and auditory ear neuritis;
• hyperbaric oxygenation is an excellent agent for poisoning;
• the reason for the appointment of a pressure chamber is a hangover and overwork;
• with nervous breakdowns and psychological overstrain;
• for diseases of the genitourinary sphere of chronic form;
• indications for the procedure is trophic ulcer and osteomyelitis;
• recommended visiting the pressure chamber after a stroke, with encephalopathy and multiple sclerosis;
• for peritonitis, purulent and slow flushing wounds, sepsis and pancreatitis. Contraindications to the procedure of HBO:
  • malignant formation;
  • epilepsy;
  • hematoma and abscess;
  • cyst, cavern and lung abscess;
  • hypertensive diseases in severe form;
  • foci of purulent disease not undergoing drainage;
  • sharply increased sensitivity to oxygen;
  • shared and draining pneumonia;
  • malfunction in the patency of the auditory canals and tubes, which connect in the external environment the paranasal sinuses;
  • presence of acute respiratory diseases;
  • hyperthermia, which does not lend itself to pharmaceutical correction;
  • claustrophobia.

  Preparatory work before

  procedure Before the examination, the specialist conducts a lecture on what hyperbaric oxygenation is capable of. In addition, he will also describe the sensations and how they appear when they are in the pressure chamber.

  Before starting the process, the patient, lying in the pressure chamber, listens to explanations about the rules of behavior in the event that the anemia of the mucosa and compression are performed.

  How is the oxygenation procedure carried out?

  First of all, it should be noted that the pressure chamber is a sealed capsule equipped with transparent windows. The patient is placed in it in an upright position. Thus in the chamber it is necessary only to lie and inhale oxygen. Inside the capsule are built-in sensors, which transmit to monitors information about the oxygen content inside and pressure.

  At the moment of being a person, a feeling of stuffiness of the ears may appear in the camera. In this case, if there are no contraindications, then it may take from 5 to 10 sessions, the duration of which is 20 to 60 minutes. The procedure is recommended for preventive purposes.

  Being in the hyperbaric chamber, the disturbance of the vital activity of microbes begins, and the resistance to therapy is reduced. This increases fibrinolytic activity and reduces the concentration of fibrinogen.

  Opinion of patients on the procedure of

  The effectiveness of the procedure is evidenced by reviews of those who were sent by specialists to the procedure for hyperbaric oxygenation.

  For the treatment and prevention of varicose veins and hemorrhoids, our readers use the method first voiced by Malysheva. Having carefully studied it, we decided to offer it to your attention. The opinion of doctors. .. "

  Hyperbaric oxygenation was prescribed to me during the first pregnancy due to hypoxia of the embryo. Despite the fact that I had to pay for the procedure myself, because the doctor did not give directions, I did not have to regret.

  Of course, the first session caused fear and anxiety, but after the process caused only pleasure. From the moment of visiting the pressure chamber 3 years have passed and my baby is all right, partly in this procedure helped.

  Ekaterina

  My course of HBO consisted of 8 sessions. There are not very pleasant moments, such as stuffiness of the ears, plus the closed space presses a little, but the sensations after the procedure improved significantly.

  Anastasia

  A visit to the pressure chamber was triggered by varicose veins. There were doubts that this would really help. I visited the pressure chamber 10 times and after each session it became better.

  Cost of procedure

  The price of one session of hyperbaric oxygenation can range from 500 rubles to 6000( cost in Moscow for 2016).This is due to the in which chamber the patient will be placed: resuscitative or usual.

  And the first option is often more expensive. Thus, to prevent varicose veins, one session in the pressure chamber is, on average, 30 minutes at most. Such procedures will require 20 to 25.

  Currently, hyperbaric oxygenation is one of the most valuable treatments. It can be used as an independent method of therapy, and auxiliary.

  And the procedure for oxygen saturation in the pressure chamber can be visited by both adults and children, as prevention or rehabilitation.
