Question
Dear doctor, is hyperbaric oxygen therapy suitable for children with brain hypoxia? What are the actual effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Answer
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment method that involves breathing pure oxygen in an environment exceeding one atmosphere of pressure. Its primary goal is to promote the recovery of brain cells and reduce the occurrence of sequelae. Through this treatment, it can significantly increase the oxygen content in the blood, rapidly improve or correct tissue hypoxia, and thereby prevent or reduce the occurrence and progression of hypoxic damage. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can increase the physical dissolved oxygen in the plasma, improve tissue oxygen supply and reserve, promote self-renewal processes, enhance cell vitality, repair damaged tissue, combat diseases, and accelerate the recovery process of patients.
