BRIEF HISTORY OF HBOT 1662 - British physician to treat pulmonary disease and help with digestion.  1891 - Doctors in U.S. began using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat nervous

disorders 1895 - Was found to be effective in treating carbon monoxide poisoning.  1928 - The largest hyperbaric chamber for $1 million in Ohio by Dr.

Cunningham. It was a 5 story high steel ball that contained 60 rooms 1934 - A U.S. Naval officer found hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be effective in

treating decompression sickness.  1961 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating gas

gangrene.  1963 - The first International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine convened in

USA 1966 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating stroke

patients. 1970 - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to be effective in treating multiple

sclerosis.  1988 - The International Society of Hyperbaric Medicine was founded.  2000 - Hyperbaric medicine was approved by the American Board of Medical

Specialties as a sub-speciality of emergency and preventative medicine.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Humour“First tried on Human…

Now being successfully used on animals”

HYPERBARIC

Hyper = More or increased

Baric = Related to Pressure

More Pressure

Word “Hyperbaric” derived from Hebrew word for “More Pressure”

“Hyperbaric” is More Pressure

More Pressure … yes.

Than what pressure ?

Related to which pressure?

More Pressure Related to Atmospheric Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the (amount of normal ) pressure exerted at sea level.

This pressure is referred to as

One Atmospheric Pressure : 1 ATA

ATA ( Atmospheric Absolute )

Henry’s Law(An increase in atmospheric pressure allows for more gas to be

dissolved into any given liquid at constant temperature)

(Henry’s law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is equal to the partial pressure of the gas exerted on the surface of the liquid. By increasing the atmospheric pressure in the chamber, more oxygen can be dissolved into the plasma than would be seen at surface pressure.)

The human body is composed almost completely of water. Gas... under pressure... dissolves in water.  

Hyperbaric Medicine

Use of Oxygen

at a higher pressure

than the atmospheric pressure

Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHBOT

Intermittent treatment with 100 % oxygen

at a greater pressure

than the normal atmospheric pressure

HBOT & Dissolving Oxygen

During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT )100% oxygen

dissolves in

blood plasma, body cells, tissues and fluids.

This is 5 times more than normal !!!!
