Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help:
• Accelerate healing of chronic wounds by increasing the amount of oxygen carried by the blood to wounded, injured, and diseased areas
• Help fight infection and increase the effectiveness of certain antibiotics
• Encourage growth of new blood vessels in hypoxic (low oxygen despite adequate blood supply) tissue
• Decrease the risk of complications prior to and following certain surgeries
• Speed the recovery of soft tissues and bones affected by radiation therapy
• Reduce the incidence of amputation in diabetic patients with lower extremity wounds

Under normal atmospheric conditions, the air we breathe is composed of 21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, those conditions are altered. The barometric pressure can be increased up to three times normal atmospheric pressure, while the air is changed to 100 percent oxygen.
The increased chamber pressure and pure oxygen breathed by the patient combine to greatly increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the patient’s blood. Essentially, the blood becomes supersaturated with oxygen and the supply of life-giving oxygen to the tissues significantly increases. This boost of oxygen stimulates and accelerates the body’s natural healing process.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered through treatment sessions, or “dives,” in a pressurized vessel known as a hyperbaric chamber. HyOx Medical Treatment Center uses multi-patient chambers at both its Atlanta hyperbaric centers (Marietta and Gwinnett). Regardless of their specific configuration, hyperbaric chambers are designed to safely create a pressurized environment (equivalent to 2-3 times the pressure of air at sea level) for the patient.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is widely recognized by the medical community as a highly effective modality of rehabilitative therapy for evidence-based conditions. It is covered under most major insurance plans, as well as Medicare, Tricare, Workers Compensation, State Merit, and other payment programs.

HyOx operates Georgia’s largest multi-patient hyperbaric chambers. HyOx’s chambers are 31 feet in length and 9 feet in diameter. The chambers can comfortably accommodate 12 sitting patients plus a staff member, who remains with patients throughout the treatment. During treatment, patients can read, listen to music, or watch videos on the chamber’s entertainment system. Medications, beverages, snacks, and a private restroom are available at all times during treatment in HyOx’s multi-patient hyperbaric chambers. Engineered and manufactured by Gulf Coast Hyperbarics, a Florida firm whose clients include NASA’s Johnson Space Center, HyOx’s chambers are made with the same materials used in the construction of high-pressure oil pipelines.

How does prescribing pressurized 100 percent oxygen as a drug work to help expedite healing? The air we breathe is made up of only 21 percent oxygen. The power of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is its ability to provide patients with 15 times more oxygen they are able to breathe in at sea level to supersaturate the body. The pressure reached in the hyperbaric chamber (equivalent to 45 feet below sea level) enables oxygen to dissolve into the liquid portion of the blood (plasma) delivering the life-giving oxygen to the places in the body that need to heal.

“We collaborate with our referring physicians to help optimize patient outcomes by adding hyperbarics to traditional treatment plans,” said Dr. Richard W. King, Jr, medical director of HyOx Medical Treatment Center. “Over more than two decades of serving patients and medical specialties in Atlanta, they’ve seen the positive results from this multi-disciplinary approach to wound healing that literally has helped hundreds of patients regain their health and quality of life.”

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as the primary treatment for healing or as an adjunctive treatment to other forms of traditional treatment modalities, such as surgery or antibiotic therapy.

Hyperbarics!? What is that?

Hyperbaric medicine (also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy or hyperbarics) is a medical sub-specialty that delivers 100% oxygen under pressure to supersaturate a patient’s body tissues devoid of oxygen from injury or disease to advance the healing process, optimize clinical outcomes and improve quality of life.

The power of clinical hyperbaric medicine is accomplished in a chamber pressurized with compressed air to the equivalent of 45 feet below sea level. Breathing 100 percent oxygen with time and pressure limits provides a 10 to 15-fold increase in body oxygen content than the normal air we breathe to help heal infected, injured or compromised areas.

In other words, hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps get oxygen to the places in the body that lack oxygen and need more of it to heal.
