- Advanced hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
MVHS Advanced Wound Care features cutting edge hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This is a treatment in which the patient breathes 100 percent oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. HBOT quickly delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream and assists in the healing process of wounds. It is also effective in fighting certain types of infections, stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and improves circulation.
Conditions for which we provide HBOT at out facility include: compromised skin grafts/flaps, osteomyelitis, diabetic ulcers, late effects of radiation and sensorineural hearing loss.
Our program is devoted to healing problem wounds and to helping our patients reclaim their quality of life. The majority of patients who are treated at our clinic do not require HBOT, but those that do usually experience positive and faster healing rates. Some may be referred for HBOT alone.
Throughout HBO therapy, the patients are monitored for any discomfort, hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, and any alarming symptoms. A typical course of treatment involved the patient spending about 2 hours a day in the chamber, five days a week over a six to eight week period.
