HYPERBARIC CARE
Life Saving, Healing Oxygen Chambers bring new hope for animals
and their owners. We are saving and changing animalā€™s lives daily
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) are an important tool in Human medicine and now
is available and affordable in veterinary medicine, for all animals
VETERINARY HYPERBARIC OXYGEN TREATMENTS (VHBOT)
The application possibilities for this treatment modality are endless. This is a do no harm,
adjunct and stand alone treatment that is pain free and will change and save your
animalā€™s lives. Side effects of HBOT are rare.
Elevating tissue oxygenation using Hyperbaric Oxygen (Oxygen under Pressure)
promotes natural healing and recovery will take place at an accelerated rate.
EDEMA * HYPOXIA * ISCHEMIA * INFECTION
Hyperbaric Oxygen addresses all of these issues and much more
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in veterinary medicine is the same as in
human medicine and is designed to most efficiently deliver oxygen to tissues in the
body. This is especially beneficial in challenging cases of wound healing, sepsis,
pancreatitis and stroke, as well as crush and burn injuries and spinal cord trauma.
By providing a negative environment for anaerobic bacteria, HBOT reduces
infection, while promoting angiogenesis in areas of deficient vascularization, which
is critical in overcoming radiation injuries.
The patient is placed into the chamber where 100% oxygen flows to a maximum of
2 atmospheric pressure. Monitored by staff members at all times using flat-screen
television monitors and portholes, most patients require no sedation and remain
calm and relaxed during treatment. Lasting about one hour, treatments are
generally given one to two times daily.You've probably heard of hyperbaric
oxygen therapy (HBOT) -- its healing powers are well known in the human
medical community. Hyperbaric means "under pressure higher than normal at
sea level."Ā Patients are exposed to high-pressure oxygen in a specially
designed hyperbaric chamber, and the treatment effectively oxygenizes the
body's tissues.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often used in combination with other forms of
therapy to treat injuries and illnesses including wounds and burns, post-
surgical swelling, sepsis, pancreatitis, necrosis, and stroke.Ā It reduces
swelling and inļ¬‚ammation, eases pressure and edema caused by head or
spinal cord injuries, stimulates new blood vessel formation in healing tissues,
improves control of infection, and promotes wound healing.forces oxygen into
areas that aren't getting an adequate oxygen supply because of tissue damage and
swelling. This, revives the immune system and ā€œsuperchargesā€ the antibiotics.

Medicare has recognized its validity and therapeutic properties for 20 years.
Only recently, however, has veterinary medicine harnessed that healing power
for pets.
Calusa Veterinary Center in Boca Raton, Florida, was among the ļ¬rst animal
hospitalĀ in the nation to acquire a hyperbaric chamber, which is more
compact than ones for humans. "Treatment times last about one hour and are
given one or two times daily," says Calusa's Dr. Andrew Turkell.Ā "Most
patients require no sedation and remain calm and relaxed during the
treatment." The animals safely and painlessly inhale and absorb the oxygen
Under hyperbaric pressure, healing oxygenation is able to reach damaged
tissue three to four times faster than normally transferred by red blood cells,"
he says. "The more oxygen that is delivered to tissues, the faster healing is
achieved. This increased oxygen supply greatly beneļ¬ts damaged, swollen,
and inļ¬‚amed tissues."
Dogs undergoing stem cell regeneration therapy can also beneļ¬t enormously
from the treatment. Studies show that hyperbaric oxygen stimulates stem cell
compact than ones for humans. "Treatment times last about one hour and
are given one or two times daily," says Calusa's Dr. Andrew Turkell.Ā "Most
patients require no sedation and remain calm and relaxed during the
treatment." The animals safely and painlessly inhale and absorb the oxygen.
"Under hyperbaric pressure, healing oxygenation is able to reach damaged
tissue three to four times faster than normally transferred by red blood cells,"
he says. "The more oxygen that is delivered to tissues, the faster healing is
achieved. This increased oxygen supply greatly beneļ¬ts damaged, swollen,
and inļ¬‚amed tissues."
Dogs undergoing stem cell regeneration therapy can also beneļ¬t
enormously from the treatment. Studies show that hyperbaric oxygen
stimulates stem cell growth up to a whopping eight times their normal
volume. "The future is bright for our ability to treat diseases which up to now
were not part of our protocols, such as diabetes andĀ kidney disease," Turkell
says. At Calusa, a dog who was blinded in an anesthesia accident during a
routine spay procedureĀ at another hospital had her sight restored after 30
hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
Soļ¬e the Yorkie, now 7 months old, came to Calusa two months ago in bad
shape, reports her owner, Corinne Scholtz. A prior consultation with a
veterinary neurologist was grim; the doctor had suggested that euthanasia
would be the kindest option. "She couldn't see or hear; she had acute brain
trauma," Corinne recalls. "She had lost sensation in her paws, and she
couldn't eat or go to the bathroom on her own. She was bumping into
things. I was devastated."But Corinne wasn't ready to give up. At Calusa,
Soļ¬e began to show improvement after ļ¬ve "dives" (as sessions in the
oxygen chamber are called, because the conditions in there areĀ the same
asĀ on aĀ scuba dive). "She seemed stronger and less tentative, and she made
her way to the food bowl by herself. We're now on our 33rd treatment, and I
think Soļ¬e is healthier now than before she was injured! She's a functioning,
happy dog. HBOT saved her life, and saved us so much heartache. It's an
amazing healing modality."
