Treatment of Sepsis with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes tissue damage, organ failure, or death. In severe cases, sepsis can lead to rapid systemic inflammation and compromised blood flow, making recovery difficult. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been studied as a potential treatment to support recovery by enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.

HBOT works by delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing much higher levels of oxygen to saturate the blood and reach tissues that are oxygen-deprived. This influx of oxygen helps promote healing by reducing oxidative stress, supporting immune response, and stimulating angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). For sepsis patients, where oxygen delivery is compromised, HBOT helps restore function to damaged tissues and potentially improves survival outcomes by counteracting the effects of sepsis-induced inflammation.

At Hyperbaric Health Services, our team of professionals offers HBOT in a supportive clinical environment, tailored to the needs of patients with severe infections like sepsis. Whether used as an adjunctive therapy to traditional sepsis treatments or to aid recovery, HBOT could play a crucial role in improving outcomes for patients dealing with this life-threatening condition.
