Can Immediate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy help wildfire burn victims?
Many wildfire burn victims may not be familiar with the healing and pain relief of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) prescribed by Hyperbaric physicians. HBOT is in fact used extensively by medical professionals and hospitals to aid in healing severe trauma and illnesses like severe burns, radiation necrosis, bone infections and non-healing wounds.
Immediate Hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly aids burn recovery when used right after the burns by:
- HBOT accelerates wound healing and minimizing scarring
- Reducing pain and inflammation
- Accelerating wound healing
- Decreasing swelling and tissue damage
- Minimizing scarring
- Lowering the risk of infection
Hyperbaric oxygen also helps heal from smoke inhalation by:
- Delivering additional oxygen directly into damaged areas like the lungs, nose and throat, helping them to heal.
