The use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment can be used to treat conditions like decompression sickness or any condition that needs a lot of oxygen, including problems related to diving. Patients are positioned in a sealed chamber. This aids in dissolving blood oxygen. High oxygen levels can now reach the tissues, thanks to this. The approach is based on the tenet that the body may mend itself when oxygen levels are high in the tissues. In recent times, veterinarians have started using this treatment.
The animal is put inside a pet chamber. They are provided with pressure tubes and liquid oxygen tanks. You may then keep an eye on the pressure and oxygen delivery. In general, the air chamber has higher pressure than usual. The therapy spans for around one or two hours and the pressure keeps rising. Decompression is also done after that.
There is no pain experienced by your pet. For five to ten days, the therapy is administered twice daily.
Findings have demonstrated the efficacy of this medication in treating inflammation, dangerous snake bites, arthritis, and infected wounds. The body's tissues benefit from the extra oxygen by helping the healing process.
The following are a few of the conditions that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can treat:
Central nervous system
Infectious diseases
Cardiovascular problems
Gastrointestinal problems
Musculoskeletal problems
Respiratory ailments
Wounds
