Hyperbaric oxygen treatment provides long-term relief for patients suffering from late radiation-induced injuries after treatment of cancer in the lower abdominal area. Five years after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the positive effects remain. This has been shown in a study conducted at the University of Gothenburg.
In Australia, hyperbaric medicine units in hospitals are used for approved medical treatments, such as wound healing, and are strictly regulated. The treatment is generally considered safe.
But cases such as the young boy’s death in the US raise concerns about how hyperbaric oxygen therapy—which involves breathing in pure oxygen in an enclosed, pressurized space—is being used outside of hospitals, including in Australia.
A recent study from Israel has been showing promise with an unusual treatment: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. HBOT is conventionally used to treat various physical ailments, such as carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness (also known as “the bends”).
