Common side effects?

The most common side effect is discomfort in the ears caused by pressure changes. To minimize the risk, patients learn to promote the adequate clearing of their ears during pressurization. Some patients may feel tired and dizzy after using a hyperbaric chamber for the first time. It's a good signal as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will speed up the metabolism of our body. Just like people feel tired after a long running. They are usually good signs of indicating detoxification. HBOT can cause an increase in blood pressure and improved eyesight.

What about Oxygen Toxicity?

Oxygen Toxicity is not a problem at pressures below 1.5 ATA. Many times stress is mistaken for oxygen toxicity. Occasionally, there may be a patient who is more sensitive to Oxygen than others and pressures may need to be adjusted to meet the needs of the patient. We provide protocol to combat any oxidative stress to the body.

How to Minimize Risks:

  • Equalize pressure in ears during treatment (swallowing, yawning, chewing gum).

  • Use proper breathing techniques to avoid lung overexpansion.

  • Consult a healthcare provider before starting HBOT, especially for those with pre-existing conditions.

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking before and after sessions.

  • Follow all safety instructions provided by trained professionals to reduce the risk of complications.

Contraindications & Increased Risk Patients

Certain medical conditions may increase the risk of complications with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Clients with the following conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before treatment:

Absolute Contraindications (HBOT Should NOT Be Used):

  • Untreated Pneumothorax (Collapsed Lung): HBOT can cause further expansion of trapped air and lung rupture.

  • Recent Ear or Sinus Surgery or Injury: Pressure changes can cause complications in individuals with healing ear or sinus structures.

  • Certain Types of Chemotherapy (e.g., Bleomycin, Doxorubicin, Cisplatin): Increased oxygen exposure may heighten toxicity effects.

  • Current High Fever or Acute Respiratory Infection: May worsen symptoms or affect breathing patterns.

Relative Contraindications (Increased Risk Patients):

  • COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) & Emphysema: Air trapping in the lungs may increase the risk of lung barotrauma.

  • Seizure Disorders (Epilepsy, History of Seizures): Oxygen toxicity may increase seizure risk in predisposed individuals.

  • Uncontrolled Hypertension: Pressure changes may exacerbate blood pressure fluctuations.

  • Pregnancy: The effects of HBOT on fetal development are not fully understood; consultation with an OB-GYN is required.

  • History of Ear Barotrauma or Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Increased risk of ear pain and damage.

  • Pacemakers or Implanted Medical Devices: Some devices may not be compatible with HBOT; manufacturer approval may be necessary.

  • Recent Eye Surgery or Pre-Existing Cataracts: May cause temporary vision changes or accelerate cataract development.

  • Diabetes with Unstable Blood Sugar: Increased oxygen can affect insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels.

Clients with any of the above conditions must disclose their medical history before starting HBOT. All treatments are administered based on informed consent, and medical clearance may be required.
