AZ Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine’s commitment to quality care and patient well-being is evident in our use of world-class, clinically proven protocols tailored to individual patient needs. We treat wounds, from surgical and diabetic foot ulcers to skin grafts and flaps. We employ numerous treatments to manage and heal wounds, including debridement, wound dressings, bioengineered skin substitutes and grafts, antibiotics and medications, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers effectively aid in helping the body heal wounds by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, enhancing oxygen delivery to cells throughout the body, and allowing the body to deliver oxygen to oxygen-deprived cells and tissue.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a highly effective medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to promote healing for various acute and chronic conditions. The therapy has numerous benefits that improve the body’s natural healing processes by increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood plasma. HBO therapy makes it easier for the body to form new blood vessels and deliver oxygen and nutrients to healing tissue. It reduces inflammation, kills bacteria, and produces collagen and tissue repair.
This innovative therapy, offered by specialized facilities like AZ Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine, has gained recognition recently. However, doctors have known about its benefits since the 1970s. Today, we use HBOT to treat multiple emergency and non-emergency FDA-approved medical conditions.
At AZ Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine, we use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat various medical conditions that the FDA has approved. Our treatments include acute (sudden onset, rapidly developing) and chronic (long-lasting conditions persisting over time) wounds. For emergencies, HBOT can be life-saving in cases of air or gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning, and decompression sickness. In non-emergency settings, it aids in healing chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, skin grafts and flaps, and radiation injuries. The therapy is also effective for certain infections, including gas gangrene and necrotizing soft tissue infections; the treatment has shown promise in treating sudden hearing and vision loss. Below is a complete list of the FDA-approved treatments
The Food and Drug Administration has approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 14 specific medical conditions. These include:
These approved uses encompass acute and chronic conditions, reflecting HBOT’s versatility in medical treatment. The therapy’s effectiveness for these conditions has been verified through rigorous clinical studies and real-world data.
Safety is a top priority at AZ Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is safe for almost everyone, including younger children. The physician may use a special device for pediatric patients, but the treatment has minimal side effects and is safe. The FDA has approved HBO therapy for all-age patients.
Most people tolerate it well, but like any treatment, it does have some risks. Some might experience ear discomfort due to pressure changes, similar to what you feel during a flight. Serious side effects are rare, but we still have a thorough consultation to address any concerns and ensure each patient is a good candidate for the therapy. A trained team member is nearby who can make adjustments if needed and ensure every patient is safe throughout the treatment – your health comes first. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Sessions are usually about an hour and a half to two hours. The number of hyperbaric oxygen sessions you have depends on the severity of your wound. Keep in mind that every patient is unique and that these are averages. During this time, you’ll be in a cozy chamber and can relax—read a book, listen to music or even nap. It’s like a mini-retreat for your body, allowing you to unwind while the oxygen works its magic.
