Treated Conditions
The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society recognize hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an effective therapy for 13 conditions. Health Canada has granted medical device licences to operate HBOT chambers for use in treating these following 13 conditions:
- carbon monoxide poisoning (from inhaling smoke or car exhaust)
- crush injury, compartment syndrome and other acute traumatic problems where blood flow is reduced or cut off (e.g., frostbite)
- decompression sickness (the bends)
- delayed radiation injury (e.g., radiation burns that develop after cancer therapy)
- embolisms (air or gas bubbles in the bloodstream, which may travel to the brain or lungs)
- enhancement of healing for non-healing wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers
- anemia (exceptional blood loss)
- Clostridal Myositis and Myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
- intracranial abscess (an accumulation of pus in the brain)
- necrotizing soft tissue infections (flesh-eating disease)
- osteomyelitis (bone infection)
- skin grafts and flaps that are not healing well
- thermal burns (e.g., from fire or electrical sources)
