	hyperbaric oxygen therapy \| hyperbaric medicine \| hyperbaric oxygen chamber
		Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped to lessen the impact of some spinal cord injuries in experimental animals, especially when the oxygen was given within two hours after a trauma-producing event.
		One study found that hyperbaric oxygen treatment initially limited pressure and swelling inside the brain after a traumatic head injury, although the effect was not long-lasting and pressure eventually rebounded to abnormally high levels.
		Other studies have found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy speeds recovery in rats suffering from injuries to the connective tissue surrounding their teeth, and that (thankfully) hyperbaric oxygen treatment is not toxic to the treated rats' testes.

	History Hyperbaric Medicine : Hyperbaric Medicine : Spinal Rehabilitation Group : Melbourne - Australia
		Hyperbaric Medicine is currently viewed as being new and controversial.
		During the past 30-40 years, Hyperbaric Medicine has gained most of its recognition for the treatment of certain mainstream medical conditions specifically related to the diving industry, including decompression sickness and air embolism.
		Hyperbaric chamber exposures of between 2 and 4 atmospheres absolute were stated to increase the circulation to the internal organs, improve the cerebral blood flow, and produce a feeling of well being.

		Hyperbaric oxygen therapy consists of high-dose oxygen inhalation while the patient is exposed to elevated ambient pressure in the chamber.
		Hyperbaric medicine is used for conditions in which hypoxia, ischemia, edema, bubble formation or infection interfere with tissue survival, function and repair.

	Bay Medical: Hyperbaric Medicine
		The beneficial mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include those resulting from increased saturation of oxygen in the blood stream and tissues, where the oxygen acts as a drug.
		Studies have shown the hyperbaric therapy may be effective in from 50 to 80 percent of selected patients with problem wounds which have defied traditional therapy.
		Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves the use of a pressurized chamber that simulates submersion to at least 2.4 atmosphere (or 45 feet) underwater.

	University Hospital:Anesthesia Services:Hyperbaric Medicine:
		Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was initially used to treat deep-sea divers with decompression sickness known as "the bends." However, over the past few decades, the role of this unique therapy has expanded to include the treatment of a number of other medical conditions, particularly those that do not respond to other therapies.
		Conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include: carbon monoxide poisoning; decompression sickness; air or gas embolism; acute anaerobic infections; chronic non-healing wounds; skin grafts and flaps; severe crush injuries; exceptional blood loss anemia (when religious beliefs or an inability to cross-match blood make transfusion impractical); and late effect injuries from radiation therapy.
		Our expertise in hyperbaric medicine is acknowledged by the fact that administrators of the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs consider the Hyperbaric Medicine program at University Hospital to be a model for other facilities in the United States.

		The benefits of hyperbaric medicine subsequently were observed for split-thickness skin graft acceptance, flap survival and salvage, wound re-epithelization, and acute thermal burns.
		Unfortunately, as the availability of hyperbaric medicine chambers increased, the indiscriminate and inappropriate use of the chamber for a variety of medical conditions by practitioners searching for a "cure-all" therapy resulted in a backlash from the scientific society, once again tarnishing the credibility of hyperbaric medicine.
		Hyperbaric treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning attempts to accelerate the release and subsequent elimination of carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, hyperoxygenate tissues, antagonize brain lipid peroxidation (potential cerebral sequela of carbon monoxide), reactivate cellular enzymes and proteins, and decrease cerebral edema and neuropsychiatric sequelae.

	Foreign Medical Schools Hyperbaric Medicine
		The roots of undersea and hyperbaric medicine lie in exploratory, industrial, and military activities requiring personnel to traverse pressure gradients, with decompression posing an infamous threat to health (i.e., decompression sickness or bends).
		Students enrolled in the Programs of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine experience the additional benefits of hands-on exposure to patients as early as the first semester of medical training and hence are greatly clinically advantaged as compared to most of their US-trained counterparts.
		By promoting an evidence-based approach to the clinical use of hyperbaric oxygen, the Programs of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine endeavor to entrench the judicious use of hyperbaric oxygen, where benefit is demonstrable, and to augment the systematic unbiased investigation of novel clinical applications.
