| Hyperbaric oxygenation
(HBO) treatment has become increasingly popular in the last few years.
Although, it began as a treatment of decompression sickness (resulting
from diving) and carbon monoxide poisoning; within the last few years progress
in the field has expanded the concept behind HBO treatment to benefit individuals
with various conditions (e.g., diabetic sores, radiation tissue damage)
(Mid-South Hyperbaric LLC, 1997). One of the most recent applications
of HBO therapy is in the treatment of individuals with traumatic brain
injury. This web site was designed to provide you with general information
about hyperbaric oxygen treatment, how it works, who it is used for, recent
research findings, and additional resources. |
