Background
- Initial use of compressed air for treatment of "Caissons disease" which was forms of Decompression sickness seen in the use of Caissons in the 1800s.[1]
- Further research was performed in 1930s-1940s through the Navy.
- 1986 the Undersea Medicine Society became the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society
- 2000 UHM became a board certified through ABEM, there are currently
Physiology
- For every 10m (33ft) submerged in water, atmospheres absolute (ATA) increases by 1.
- At a depth of 30m (99ft), you would be at 4 ATA.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) utilizes pressure and oxygen to saturate hemoglobin, bot more significantly, blood plasma itself, to provide enough oxygen to meet metabolic demands under various circumstances that may limit hgb oxygen carrying capacity or access.[2]
- Vasoconstriction
- Maintains oxygenation through increased O2 gradient and plasma saturation, but decreases edema from capillary filtration.
- Antibacterial
- Directly harmful to anaerobic orgasnisms
- May increase neutrophil efficacy
- Angiogenesis
- Prevention of reperfusion injury
