HBOT AND RADIATION TISSUE DAMAGE?

Radiation damage causes hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the body’s tissue. Hyperbaric Oxygen helps fight this damage by increasing the amount of oxygen in the tissue, which aids in the recovery. For example, extra oxygen stimulates the skin to form new collagen, the basic building material in wound healing. New collagen, in turn, enhances the formation of new capillaries, supporting skin graphs and allowing small skin ulcers to heal over. HBOT’s usefulness in treating radiation tissue damage was first reported in the medical literature in 1973, and it has continued to be documented in many other reports.
