The effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on early tendon healing in the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures.

Histopathological study showed the amount of fibrosis was significantly higher in the hyperbaric oxygen therapy group than in the control group without the hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

The amount of inflammation and vascularization were significantly higher in the steroid administration group than in the no-steroid group.

There was a significant difference in the biomechanical properties of the groups in terms of maximum force, stiffness, elastic modulus and maximum allowable stress.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy creates a positive histological and biomechanical effect on tendon healing after Achilles tendon repair.

Combined branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and branch retinal vascular occlusion (BRVO) is a rare event that has not been well-studied.

The exact etiology is unclear and the visual prognosis is very poor. Most of the patients have multiple cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia.

One hypothesis is that hypertension causes distal compression of the retinal vein by the retinal artery at the crossing point, which leads to elevation of the branch retinal vein pressure and BRVO.

This high pressure then returned to the crossing point and re-elevated the pressure of the branch retinal artery, eventually causes hemorrhage due to vascular breakdown and BRAO.

Unfortunately, there is no proven effective therapy for this disease at present.

Several treatments had been reported, including intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injection, or scattered laser photocoagulation when retinal neovascularization or macular edema was observed.

HBOT delivers 100% oxygen by a pressure greater than one atmosphere, increasing plasma oxygen transportation and diffusion, with positive effects in vascular perfusion and neuroprotection.

HBOT was proved to increase the volume of oxygen delivered to the damaged or ischemic tissue until spontaneous or assisted reperfusion occurs.

Skeletal muscle compartment syndrome (SMCS) is a medical emergency, and it occurs when intracompartment pressure exceeds capillary perfusion pressure, resulting in hypoxia and ischaemia of the supplied tissues.

Following injury or trauma, oedema or bleeding within the confines of a muscle compartment increases the pressure within that compartment.

When the increased pressure collapses the microcirculation, hypoxia and ischaemia follow, leading to a self-perpetuating cycle of oedema leading to tissue ischaemia and vice versa.

Early detection of SMCS is critical to maximising salvaged tissue and following diagnosis, with urgent fasciotomy indicate

HBOT refers to the breathing of 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, and numerous reports have identified its benefit in rhabdomyolysis and SMCS.

HBOT boosts arterial oxygen partial pressure, directly increasing oxygen supply to hypoxic tissue, as well as minimising cellular metabolic dysfunction.

This also helps stimulate angiogenesis and activate fibroblasts and macrophages to aid wound healing.

Hyperoxygenation achieved through HBOT induces vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to damaged tissues by up to 20% as well as producing a direct osmotic effect, reducing local oedema whilst maintaining oxygen delivery

There are different processes via which a muscle cell can utilize oxygen to make energy that will sustain activity. The type of activity and duration of activity will determine what energy system is used to sustain the activity being done.

Aerobic metabolism uses oxygen to sustain the energy demand. Oxygen is obtained from the air we breathe, and then transported to the cells though the myoglobin.

Although ambient air only contains 21% oxygen, it is enough to sustain life and energy needs. But what if the muscle cell could instead receive 100% oxygen?

The delivery method would be via hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) which supplies oxygen at 100% concentration under a minimum of 1 atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure will affect the outcomes of consuming 100% oxygen.

Research supports positive findings on oxygen therapy under pressure and muscle cell recovery but much research still needs to be investigated.

HBO can be a safe option to enhance cellular recovery and cell function.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves inhalation of 100% oxygen at supra-atmospheric ambient pressure.

HBOT is used as either a primary or adjunctive treatment in the management of infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, diabetic foot infections, refractory osteomyelitis, neurosurgical infections and fungal infections.

HBOT acts as a bactericidal/bacteriostatic agent against anerobic bacteria by increasing the formation of free oxygen radicals.

HBOT restores the bacterial-killing capacity of leukocytes in hypoxic wounds by increasing tissue oxygen tensions. In addition, HBOT acts synergistically with a number of antibiotics.

“World-class athletes, including Lebron James, Jessie Graff and many others, are using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to speed up their recovery”

The group of athletes that received HBOT demonstrated a significant decrease in their cellular damage marker levels.

Therefore, the evidence suggests that HBOT can reduce cellular damage markers (creatine phosphokinase, glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase, and myoglobin), which can stimulate early recovery from muscular injury and reduce recovery time.

Additionally, other studies have demonstrated that HBOT can reduce inflammation and improve cognition.

COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2. The most common manifestations are pneumonia, high fever, myalgia, dry cough, and chest pain.

The death rate due to COVID-19 varies from 1% to more than 7%, and respiratory failure is the main cause. Research is underway to identify and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventions to treat the patients with COVID-19 based on their disease severity.

Approximately, 15–20% of hospitalized patients present with hypoxemic respiratory failure, accompanied by the need for oxygen supplementation.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as an alternative therapeutic approach to address COVID-19-associated hypoxia.

HBOT is recognized as an effective treatment for replacing any form of oxygen deficiency. HBOT is a non-invasive treatment and serves as primary or adjunctive therapy in various medical conditions.

HBOT could be a decisive treatment for improving outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, especially at early stages, and it could also be beneficial during the intubation period.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Work?

One method of HBOT involves a person receiving the treatment inside of a tube-like chamber. Some tubes are made of clear acrylic, allowing patients to see outside of the chamber.

This transparency may eliminate some of the potential anxiety a person may have of feeling trapped inside the tube.

During HBOT, a patient is instructed to lie down in the enclosed chamber and breathe the air inside the tube as the pressure is gradually increased.

Another mode of treatment is a multiperson hyperbaric oxygen room, where oxygen is delivered via a mask or a lightweight clear hood placed over the head. In this scenario, a person can sit or lie down in a lounge chair—there is no tube or chamber with this method.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and aesthetics complications:

Complications from aesthetic facial procedures can be disastrous due to the risk of developing vascular occlusions and skin infections.

As such, they require prompt and effective therapy solutions. By utilizing highly pressurized oxygen diffusion to hypoxic tissues to enhance the vascularization of the face and given its bactericidal effects, HBOT serves a beneficial purpose in the wound healing process.
