Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) คืออะไร? รู้จักการบำบัดด้วยออกซิเจนความดันสูง และประโยชน์ทางการแพทย์

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the treatment of patients breathing 100% pure oxygen while lying in a hyperbaric chamber, where the internal pressure is higher than normal atmospheric pressure.
&nbsp;
<h2>How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) benefit the body?</h2>
This condition helps oxygen molecules dissolve into the bloodstream many times more, resulting in the following benefits to the body:
<ul>
<li>Speeds up wound healing suitable for chronic wounds from diabetes or wounds that are difficult to heal</li>
<li>Treats air bubbles in the blood commonly used to treat decompression sickness in divers</li>
<li>Reduces swelling and inflammation helps restore tissues that lack oxygen or have been severely injured</li>
<li>Stimulates new blood vessel formation and helps boost the immune system to eliminate pathogens</li>
</ul>
In private hospitals in Thailand, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is currently used in two main approaches: medical treatment according to the international standards of UHMS and preventive &amp; wellness care, which is increasingly popular because it meets the needs for speed, treatment efficiency, and patient convenience.
<h2>​</h2>
<h2>1. Standard Disease Group (Medical expenses can be claimed with health insurance companies according to policy conditions)</h2>
This group includes diseases with clear medical evidence and is often covered by health insurance companies (depending on policy conditions). HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) can be used in the following cases:
<ul>
<li>Chronic wounds and diabetes: especially hard-to-heal wounds on the feet, helping reduce the risk of severe infection and amputation</li>
<li>Sudden deafness: sudden hearing loss (should receive therapy within the first 2 weeks)</li>
<li>Tissue recovery after radiation therapy: such as mouth ulcers or cystitis caused by cancer treatment</li>
<li>Burns and scalds: helps reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and accelerate new skin formation</li>
<li>Diving-related diseases (Bends): helps reduce air bubbles in the bloodstream and restore oxygen circulation</li>
</ul>

<h2>2. Preventive &amp; Regenerative Wellness Care</h2>
Usually offered as a Wellness Package, which generally cannot be claimed through health insurance but is highly popular among those seeking holistic health care and quality of life improvement. Its highlights that attract patients include:
<ul>
<li>Post-Surgery Recovery helps reduce swelling, redness, and bruising after surgeries such as breast augmentation, facial surgery, or major operations, while effectively accelerating wound healing</li>
<li>Sports Medicine &amp; Recovery restores muscles from injury or accumulated fatigue from intense exercise, helping patients return to physical activity faster</li>
<li>Brain Health &amp; Energy Boost helps reduce accumulated fatigue (Brain Fog), relieve Office Syndrome symptoms, and improve sleep quality</li>
<li>Anti-Aging &amp; Longevity stimulates collagen production, reduces cellular degeneration, and decreases oxidative stress</li>
</ul>

<h2>(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy</h2>
<ol>
<li>What is HBOT?</li>
</ol>
HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is treatment with pure oxygen under high pressure, which increases oxygen in the blood and restores the body at the cellular level.
&nbsp;
<ol start="2">
<li>What conditions can HBOT treat?</li>
</ol>
It can be used for medical conditions such as diabetic wounds, chronic wounds, sudden deafness, and wellness groups such as body recovery, anti-aging, and energy enhancement.
&nbsp;
<ol start="4">
<li>Is HBOT safe?</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;
<ol start="6">
<li>How is HBOT different from regular oxygen therapy?</li>
</ol>
HBOT uses high pressure, allowing oxygen to dissolve in the blood many times more than regular oxygen therapy.
