Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT, is a form of treatment used to accelerate the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, wounds that may not heal, and infections in which tissues are deprived of oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
Fakeeh University Hospital’s HBOT unit, Alex Scan, is the most advanced & largest Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Center in a private hospital setting in the UAE.
How hyperbaric oxygen therapy works?
This type of treatment is based on the theory of saturating the blood, cells and tissues with oxygen in which the percentage of blood saturation with oxygen increases during the treatment session inside the pressure unit at a rate of 22-fold, then the blood delivers this high percentage of oxygen to all body cells.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is considered a safe treatment and does not have any complications or side effects after the unit consultant examines the patient and ensures that there is nothing to prevent him from taking the sessions.
