Overview

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing in 100% oxygen under air pressure two to three times higher than normal air pressure. This allows your lungs to take in more oxygen than they can at normal air pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is typically an outpatient procedure that can be done in an individual unit for one patient within a chamber or a room for multiple people through a mask. This procedure is often used for wound healing or serious infections, as the extra oxygen can release growth factors and stem cells to promote healing and help fight bacteria.1   How can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms. The mechanisms behind long COVID symptoms are not fully understood.
