Who can't accompany hyperbaric oxygen?

As a relatively new technology, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can not only be used as an effective auxiliary treatment method for brain trauma, but also play a role in daily health care for patients who lack oxygen in their bodies. Patients achieve treatment and health care purposes by breathing pure oxygen in an environment with a pressure exceeding 1 atmosphere. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the person accompanying the patient may experience temporary adverse reactions such as headache, tinnitus, nose bleeding, ear pain, etc. due to the high oxygen level.

1. Who is not suitable for accompanying hyperbaric oxygen

1. Untreated pneumothorax and active bleeding.

2. People with high blood pressure, headache, nausea, rapid heartbeat, etc. are not allowed to enter the cabin.

3. Patients with severe emphysema and suspected bullae.

4. When the upper respiratory tract is infected, there is a risk of middle ear barotrauma and paranasal sinus barotrauma.

5. Patients with infectious diseases such as influenza, tuberculosis, hepatitis, etc. should be isolated from other patients.

6. HBO treatment is not suitable for patients with epilepsy.

7. People suffering from heart disease, sepsis, and anemia.

2. Side effects of hyperbaric oxygen chamber on human body

The oxygen concentration in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is relatively high, and those accompanying the patient usually experience headaches, tinnitus, etc. due to the high oxygen concentration. But they are all temporary and will not have much impact on the body. Side effects associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include barotrauma, oxygen toxicity, and decompression sickness. If there are no corresponding discomfort symptoms, there is generally no impact, as long as the time in the oxygen chamber does not exceed sixty to ninety minutes.

3. Precautions for family members accompanying hyperbaric oxygen

1. As long as you meet the cabin entry standards, there will be no harm to the accompanying personnel.

2. During the process of pressure increase and decompression, observe the patient's and your own physical changes at any time. If there are any problems, report them to the medical staff in the operation cabin in a timely manner.

3. Family members are not allowed to bring matches, lighters, flammable and explosive items into the cabin, and are not allowed to wear synthetic fiber clothing into the cabin to avoid fire. If family members find any abnormalities during treatment, they should contact medical staff through the in-cabin telephone.

4. Health benefits of hyperbaric oxygen

Hyperbaric oxygen not only has therapeutic effects on many diseases, but also can achieve good health care effects by adjusting the pressure value, and the discomfort caused during treatment will not be generated during the health care process. Specifically, hyperbaric oxygen health care is a health care method that involves inhaling pure oxygen at a pressure exceeding 1 atmosphere in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Under a suitable high-pressure environment, by increasing the oxygen concentration in the inhaled gas, the blood oxygen tension and blood oxygen content are increased, thereby increasing the oxygen content and oxygen storage capacity in the tissues accordingly. It is an effective medical measure to improve, alleviate and correct the body's hypoxic state, and by improving the symptoms of hypoxia caused by internal or external factors, it makes up for the missing oxygen in the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of health care or treatment.
