Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing almost pure oxygen in a special room or small chamber.

Children with autism benefit from HBOT so owing to the increase in cerebral perfusion occurring during treatment. Inhalation of above-atmospheric oxygen might result in an elevation of arterial partial pressure of oxygen, leading to increased oxygen delivery to the brain.

 

FDA has approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy as treatment for Autism, Brain Damage, Stoke and 13 different conditions.

 

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a potential risk of scuba diving. So Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections and bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that may not heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.
When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, So this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing

Why it’s done

Your body’s tissues need an adequate supply of oxygen to function. When tissue is injured, so it requires even more oxygen to survive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. With repeated scheduled treatments, the temporary extra high oxygen levels encourage normal tissue oxygen levels, even after the therapy is completed.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat several medical conditions. And medical institutions use it in different ways. Your doctor may suggest hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have one of the following conditions:
  • Brain abscess
  • Spi nal Cord Injury
  • Stoke
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Autism
  • Deafness, sudden
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Exceptional blood loss anemia
  • Infection of skin or bone that causes tissue death
  • Radiation injury
  • Skin graft or skin flap at risk of tissue death
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Vision loss, sudden and painless
  • Parkinson’s Disease 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy : Treatment For Autism

The recent rising level of autism among children is distressing and the frustration among parents is compounded when regular treatment does not respond. Is there any viable solution? Yes, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the answer. HBOT has evolved over the years and can be treated not only on decompression sickness but also for various conditions including autism. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy Pune comes as an alternative treatment for autism and has proven to deliver huge improvement in speech, behavior, communication and also in cognitive awareness. So how is this possible and how it works?

HBOT uses 100% pure oxygen. This oxygen therapy generally takes place in a chamber where the pressure is maintained at a higher level than the normal atmospheric level. So the quantum of availability of oxygen gets increased, which in turn helps the blood flow to supply ten times more oxygen to the places of necessity. The high levels of oxygen in blood flow hasten the healing procedure and aid in the treatment.

We are all aware of the fact that occurrence of autism is attributed to critical disorders in brain. Brain requires extra blood flow to generate speech or perform any other simple task. This additional requirement of blood is attributed to the fact that brain needs oxygen in blood to derive energy and perform tasks. Unfortunately for the kids affected with autism, the main problem arises when the blood flow gets diminished and deprives them of the additional oxygen to perform easy tasks such as speaking few sentences. HBOT provides an excellent opportunity to increase the oxygen level in brain and thereby repair the cells. HBOT works in autism by following ways:

Reduction in inflammation of tissue
Reduction in oxidative stress
Improvement in functionality of Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, and thereby supply of more energy is facilitated
Formation of new blood vessels
HBOT does not provide instantaneous results; more sessions are required for achieving noticeable results. The expert doctors at the clinic who have treated autistic patients are absolutely confident and they have observed improvements in the child after completing few sessions.

Some of the improvements that have been achieved are –

  • Improved speech
  • Reduced irritability
  • Improved social interaction
  • Improved eye contact
  • Reduced aggressive behavior
  • Increased understanding of verbal communication

  • Increased reasoning ability                

  • The treatment usually lasts for one hour in the chamber where the patient receives 100% pure oxygen. To notice improvements, the treatment demands multiple sessions for the initial few weeks. By closely observing the results, the expert doctors at our medical center decide upon the further course of treatment sessions.

HBOT helps in maximum utilization of oxygen by brain and thereby respond positively to the treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also helps in treating cerebral palsy and Epilepsy in kids. The treatment procedure is natural and safe when it is diagnosed and carried out under the supervision of expert doctors. Poona preventive cardiology center is a leading clinic for Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Pune , India and our doctors are experienced in providing this fabulous oxygen therapy to hasten the healing process.
