Mechanism of Action

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy utilizes the following two key factors to achieve its therapeutic effects:

• Hyperbaric Environment: The pressure inside the hyperbaric chamber is typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure.

  • According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. Increased pressure forces significantly more oxygen to dissolve into body fluids, especially the blood plasma (which normally carries very little oxygen).

  • This oxygen dissolved in the plasma can bypass red blood cells and be directly delivered to circulation-compromised or ischemic tissues and organs, greatly enhancing the body's oxygen supply.

• High Concentration Oxygen : Patients usually breathe in nearly 100% pure oxygen.

  • This further increases the partial pressure of oxygen, allowing tissues to receive dozens of times more oxygen than breathing oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure
