Pressure chamber. Indications and contraindications, that is, real doctors that treats pregnancy, children

Oxygen - is the main element, through which the world is life. With his lack of body experiences discomfort, developing many diseases. To deal with them have special equipment - hyperbaric chamber. To use it requires the testimony, confirmed by a physician. Application is possible in the absence of contraindications.

Oxygen pressure chamber - what is it?

Pressure chamber - is a specialized medical device that is used for therapeutic purposes. Outwardly, it looks like a bathyscaphe. His story is a device beginning with 1995. Now it became very popular and widely used. It has the form of a sealed glass or made of a material similar to glass, the capsule on the walls with windows.

The main feature consists in working pressure chamber that is within it oxygen-enriched air. During the procedure the patient in a horizontal position and is placed inside a while, and oxygenated breathing. The latter has a reducing effect on the body. Regeneration occurs at the cellular level.

Inside, on the chamber walls, located special sensors to regulate the amount of oxygen as well as pressure. Therefore, the doctor throughout the procedure is next and controls the device through the window.

This level of pure oxygen may cause a slight dizziness, malaise and mild. In this case, it will help health workers who are on duty outside. It can also be a problem due to the ingestion of a foreign object up to the explosion.

How does hyperbaric chamber?

There is no different variations of this procedure. The basis of the method is that the patient is placed inside the machine, where conditions have been created that can be compared to water immersion to a depth of about 500 cm.

The mixing chamber is isolated interstitial fluid with nitrogen and oxygen. This process under these conditions is more effective and allows blood and oxygenate internal tissues.

pressure chamber is based on the action of the physical laws that govern the dissolution of gaseous substances into liquid, which is located in the tissues. This eliminates dangerous pathology - oxygen starvation of the body.

After all, without the element person can die within a few minutes. No body can not function without it. In such cases, it is developing a pathological condition - hypoxia.

The reasons for its occurrence can serve as:

• reduced level of hemoglobin in the blood;
• obstacles in the mainstream vessels that create a low permeability;
• disruptions to the cardiovascular system;
• respiratory system diseases

hypoxia treatment in the chamber may increase the resistance to adverse environmental influences. To achieve the complete elimination of the disease is possible only in conditions of elevated pressure, so air can not cope with the disease.

That is because the pressure provides a more rapid dissolution of oxygen in the interstitial fluid. This, in turn, restores normal functioning of organs.

How useful to the organism barotherapy

Methods of work pressure chamber appeared in the last century, but today it justifies itself and performs its functions:

• rapid elimination of oxygen starvation;
• increasing organism resistance to the adverse effects of the environment;
• stimulation of the immune system.

The procedure, which underlies barotherapy method is the most effective treatment in cases where the other there is a ban or restriction. For example, it is suitable for the treatment of oxygen deficiency in children, pregnant women and autism. And he has no age restrictions.

Basis operation pressure chamber lies in the ability of oxygen penetration into the particles between tissue fluid. This effect contributes to the healing of hypoxia and its consequences.

The total benefit of the procedure is a more complete filling of the fabrics and the intercellular space of oxygen. It is noted improved general state of health, and increasing somnolence disappears vital data.

On the positive side effects of the process are:

• quick recovery after intense labor loads;
• increase in metabolic rate;
• getting rid of the stagnation in the organismic tissues;
• stimulation and improvement of organ functioning;
• acceleration of recovery from illness: infections, inflammation, and viral diseases caused by bacteria.

Indications and contraindications for hyperbaric chambers different, but in most patients after the procedure showed improvement status. Cloth saturated with oxygen well, and there was a positive trend, even among people with the disease in the running stage of development.

That treats the pressure chamber: indications for use

Therapy in a hyperbaric chamber is assigned a doctor for different reasons.

However, after completing the procedure in the majority of patients have improved during such disorders as:

• erection problems in men;
• pulmonary pathology associated with a lack of molecular oxygen;
• regeneration process after surgery;
• pathological phenomena in the cardiovascular system;
• preventive measures to fight against colds and viral diseases.

In addition, the use of hyperbaric chambers may in healing children, women during childbearing, and even in veterinary medicine. Filling tissue oxygenation promotes elimination of pain, increased vascular area and a preventive measure for osteoporosis.

If we consider the specific disease, the pressure chamber improves the state in such pathologies as:

• periodontal disease;
• psoriasis;
• Sugar diaet;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• furunculosis;
• cirrhosis of the liver.

In dermatology, the device will help to get rid of:

• consequences of surgery;
• the effects of surgical and therapeutic treatment;
• excessive dryness of the skin cover;
• low oxidation rate;
• linear and local scleroderma;
• frostbite.

Also, the pressure chamber helps to restore the balance of the skin of mineral elements and prolongs its youth.

What is the HBO during pregnancy and lactation

Pressure chamber (indications and contraindications to the procedure agreed with the doctor) is used to treat women who bears a child, because most experts say only positive trend after the oxygenation:

• improving immunity;
• normalization of pressure inside the skull;
• stimulation of the respiratory centers of the work;
• improvement of the exchange process.

In addition, the result can be seen not only the mother but also the baby. Especially recommended treatment in a hyperbaric chamber in case of a problem pregnancy, when deviations are observed in fetal development.

For example, violations at the stage of "child seats" - the placenta or failures in its normal operation. There are other diseases that can be eliminated with the help of an additional oxygen supply. However, if the child is developing normally, the treatment will not cause harm, but it will not bring good.

Especially important influence oxygenation if installed such as hypoxia fetal diagnosis. It develops for a variety of reasons. Now this phenomenon is not uncommon, so it is necessary to take timely corrective actions. Otherwise, the consequences can be negative.

To avoid potential problems, mothers who have health problems should use the pressure chamber as a preventive measure. This applies to people with diabetes and heart disease.

The use of hyperbaric chambers in neonatology

Some experts argue that the use of hyperbaric chambers during fetal development has a positive effect not only on the fetal development, but also on the life of a child in the first months of life, strengthen the immune system and making the baby more resistant to weathering environment.

Also make the birth process easier for both the child and the mother. However, such claims are not supported by research and are controversial. Thus, the use of the use of hyperbaric chambers has not been proved in neonatology.

Possible risk of harm from treatment in hyperbaric chamber

According to reports today oxygen hyperbaric chamber can not cause harm. This is especially important in the treatment of neglected diseases. And when children care, the elderly and pregnant women. However, even here there are some contraindications to be considered in the appointment procedure.

If oxygen therapy was prescribed by a doctor, doubt is not necessary, because the expert took into account all the possible obstacles. In the case of independent visits, need to consult a doctor.

Contraindications for hyperbaric oxygenation

Pressure chamber, indications and contra-indications which are still being studied by specialists, can be appointed Only your doctor, because there are a number of diseases, the presence of which must be from the procedure refrain.

These include:

• epilepsy;
• serious violations of the heart and blood vessels;

• tuberculosis.

It is not recommended to use a hyperbaric chamber if revealed obstruction of the Eustachian tubes and sinuses, hernia. This procedure is contraindicated people who suffer from the consequences of cranial trauma. It is also worth pay attention to the advice of doctors to those who are over 60 years old and suffering from claustrophobia.

Thus, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be used even during pregnancy without causing harm to the fetus. This method of treatment can be appointed only after 3 months. Also, despite the fact that the process is safe, it is better to carry out only after the recommendation of a doctor.

Do I need training to procedure

Preliminary preparations for the oxygenation is not required. You do not need to comply with special food regime before the procedure. Several actions have to be done only in the office of a doctor. The patient should dress in cotton clothes specifically designed for this purpose.

This suit does not contain synthetic elements, it improves penetration of oxygen molecules to all areas of the body. The hair should be removed under a scarf or a special headdress made of the same material as the dress.

The methodology of the procedure

Pressure chamber is a simple medical devices, and the procedure of treatment is quite simple and has its sequence of actions:

1. Since the skin is removed all the contamination, including cosmetics.
2. Removed all the ornaments made of any material.
3. The patient is dressed in a special suit of cotton.
4. The patient is positioned supine on a soft couch that pulls out and placed in a pressure chamber. It is important to take a comfortable position, because it would have to spend quite a long time. To get the most positive results should be in a relaxed state.
5. The doctor begins to gradually increase pressure. After reaching the optimal level of the patient wears a face mask, and then starts the supply of pure oxygen. At this point, the physician should be nearby and to monitor human health.
6. After a certain time, the procedure comes to an end, after a couple of minutes, then you can stand up and put himself in order.

Treatment usually takes between 10 and 12 visits. This number is optimal, as it allows in the shortest possible time to eliminate the disease and its consequences, as well as to sustain the effect. Duration of the procedure is from half an hour to 2, depending on indications.

Appointed oxygenation after the physician survey from the country all the necessary tests.

adult

To carry out the procedure oxygen oxygenation adult enough to comply with the above-described algorithm. All his steps are time-tested and verified and experts, they can get the maximum effect in a short time and fix it.

All rules must be exactly complied with, then the therapeutic result will be more noticeable and the patient is likely to get rid of the disease.

For children

For children all the above rules also apply. But with him, you must be more careful, because many people are afraid of enclosed spaces. During the entire procedure should be close and to exercise control over the child's reaction. Duration reduced oxygenation and usually not more than half an hour.

Pregnancy and hepatitis B

The gestation period for a woman is not a contraindication for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. However, to prevent the harmful effects of the procedure should control the gynecologist, who is in charge during the childbearing. During lactation, it is also possible to carry out oxygenation.

As contraindications are:

• cancer pathology in the mother;
• the likelihood of miscarriage;
• elevated blood pressure.

During lactation, it is also possible to carry out oxygenation.

Pressure chamber for autistic

Pressure chamber, indications and contraindications which do not provide for a ban on the treatment of autism it can be used to improve the condition of people with cerebral palsy.

Often, autistic, especially children, tend to isolate themselves from the society of strangers, while in some nooks, so being in the pressure chamber becomes their "favorite" procedure.

The effectiveness of treatments for people with such a diagnosis has not been proven and the opinions of experts differ. Some argue that oxygenation is useless and does not improve the condition of the patient, others note a positive trend after a few treatments.

Basically, after treatment in a hyperbaric chamber autistic observed improvement of sleep and the general state of rest. Complete healing was observed.

possible complications

Pressure chamber, indications and contraindications of which not all are known to science, and can cause harm.

In this case, an increased risk of occurrence of the following pathologies:

• myopia (the effect may take as directed, and take several months);
• lung tissue damage;
• without injury to the middle ear;
• convulsions, muscle fetter;
• appearance of respiratory function disorders;
• worsening of current heart disease and vascular function;
• fluid accumulation in the lungs;
• applying damage the membrane separating the outer and middle ear (tympanic membrane).

After the procedure the patient should feel a slight discomfort, a little stuffy ears and dizziness. This is a normal reaction to an increased proportion of oxygen in the inspired air.

Repairing care after the procedure

After okisgenatsii patient does not need special care if all the rules of its conduct and take into account contraindications to the stage destination therapy in a hyperbaric chamber have been met. Immediately after the procedure is recommended to rest for half an hour for the body to recover and come to its normal state: passed dizziness, and discomfort disappeared.
