Mechanism
HBO Therapy works by:-
- Increasing oxygen tension in hypoxic areas such as chronically infected, irradiated, or compromised tissues.
- Enhancing Leucocyte killing ability (via the "oxidative burst").
- Reducing oedema through vasoconstriction.
- Stimulating fibroblast activity and new capillary formation in compromised tissues – a process known as neoangiogenesis.
