Late Effects of Radiation treated with HBOT

Despite modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques, radiation-induced proctitis (RIP) remains a significant complication of RT for pelvic organ malignancies.

HBOT proved to be an effective and safe treatment for RIP refractory to medical and/or endoscopic treatments. This real-world evidence study adds value to published data on the management of RIP with HBOT.

With summer quickly approaching in the Tahoe area, here are some quick safety tips and reminders for diving Lake Tahoe.

Remember to think about your plan. If you are driving remember you will need to go over one of the passes if you are driving, also factor in if you will be flying out of Reno/Tahoe.

Use DAN Divers Alert Network - We are in their system of clinics in Northern Nevada you can get treated for DCS. Before starting to dive make sure you have the correct insurance. ** Just in case.

We will be making a effort this year in talking to all the dive shops in Lake Tahoe just to make sure they will also know that we are open 24/7 to Dive Emergencies.

In any event where you think you might have got "bent" please feel free to contact us on our emergency line.

Happy Diving in Beautiful Lake Tahoe!

Lets talk about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Radiation.

Late effects of radiation is a covered condition for all insurances.

A lot of our patients are Late Effects of Radiation patients we are currently seeing a big jump in late effects of radiation cases.

The most common cases we see are going to be:

Head/Neck - Osteo of the jaw, pulled teeth after radiation that just won't heal, soft tissue necrosis, flaps that won't heal.

Pelvic Region - Soft tissue necrosis, cystitis (bladder problems control, bleeding, pain), proctitis (re**al problems control, bleeding, pain)

The great thing is the response rate of healing. 81% to 83% for bone and bladder healing. 50% with soft tissue necrosis/mucous membrane improved with HBOT. With a low relapse rate of 22%.

If you have had radiation and you think you might be dealing with Late Effects of Radiation please give us a call and let's talk.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe and effective treatment modality offering durable relief in the management of radiation-induced osteoradionecrosis either alone or as an adjunctive treatment. Radiation soft tissue necrosis, cystitis, and proctitis also seemed to benefit from HBOT, but the present...

This is the reason we warn patients about doing HBOT/MBOT at non-medical facilities. This explosion happened in May, and we are just hearing about it. We understand it is better financially to buy or go to a spa where they are advertising HBOT/MBOT at low pressure for 50-75 dollars a treatment. But sadly, this is the risk. This could have been much worse the 2 occupants could have died. This is why safety is so important with HBOT, you need to know what you're dealing with high pressure and oxygen.

"Businesses on either side of Revive Infrared Spa in Lehi thought a car had crashed into their building on the May afternoon when a loud explosion shook their walls.

Instead, a hard-sided hyperbaric oxygen chamber had exploded — with two people inside, according to a report from Lehi Fire Department. A glass window on the chamber burst, sending hand-sized shards of glass into the air and driving some into the ceiling.

The explosion caused “serious injuries” to the people inside the chamber, according to the report; one was unconscious when first responders arrived and had to be taken to a hospital. Revive owner Shane Smith was knocked to the ground."

A Lehi wellness center and its neighbors were rocked in May when a hard-sided hyperbaric oxygen chamber exploded — with two people inside.

MHbot is now finally having to adhere to fire code. Mild Hyperbarics is not Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and it is a safety risk.

An increasingly popular offering at wellness centers and chiropractor offices is running into opposition from fire marshals and doctors.

We know of some people doing this. This is a great read on why not to go to a portable chamber, also exposing the people who use hard chambers in their homes.

There are many, many practitioners advertising that they offer “hyperbaric oxygen therapy” but using equipment that is not cleared for use by the FDA at all, or if cleared for use by the FDA, is only cleared for the treatment of altitude sickness.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is amazing for burn patients. Depending on where and how much of your body is burned you can go into both a Monoplace Chamber and a Multiplace. We are wishing Jay Leno a quick and speedy recovery.

Part of Leno’s recovery includes the former late night host receiving treatment in a hyperbaric chamber, where the air pressure inside the tube is increased to a level higher than normal air pressure.

“It helps decrease swelling,” Dr. Grossman explained about the New York native’s recovery treatment. “It helps increase blood flow with good oxygenation and it helps decrease bacteria.”

Making strides. Jay Leno is recovering in a hyperbaric chamber after suffering severe burns on his face and body during a gasoline fire at his Los Angeles garage. Dr. Peter Grossman, the comedian’s doctor at...
