A Step-by-Step Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Medical Assessment<\/strong><br>Before treatment begins, a detailed medical history is taken and a medical assessment is carried out to ensure that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is both suitable and safe for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Entering the Chamber<\/strong><br>The patient enters the chamber and is positioned comfortably, either sitting or lying down, depending on the type of equipment used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Gradual Pressurisation<\/strong><br>The pressure inside the chamber increases gradually, allowing the body to adjust smoothly. The patient may feel pressure in the ears, similar to the sensation experienced during an aircraft take-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Treatment Stage<\/strong><br>The patient breathes 100% pure oxygen for a specified period. During this stage, they may relax or read, provided that the equipment allows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Gradual Depressurization<\/strong><br>Before the session ended, the pressure inside the chamber gradually returned to normal atmospheric levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire procedure is continuously monitored by specially trained staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Duration and Number of Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each session usually lasts between <strong>60 and 90 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total number of sessions depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the medical indication;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the severity of the condition;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the patient\u2019s response to treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, <strong>10 to 20 sessions<\/strong> may be required, while other conditions may require a longer course of treatment. The treatment plan is always tailored to the individual patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">What Does the Patient Feel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally well tolerated and painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the session, the patient may experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>mild pressure in the ears;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a feeling of fullness in the sinuses;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a mild sensation of warmth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sensations are temporary and usually subside quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When performed in a properly equipped medical facility under medical supervision, <strong>hyperbaric oxygen therapy<\/strong> is considered safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible side effects, which are usually mild, may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ear discomfort caused by changes in pressure;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>temporary changes in vision;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fatigue after the session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any contraindications are assessed before treatment begins as part of the medical evaluation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is hyperbaric oxygen therapy administered?
