Center for Hyperbaric Medicine
It deals with the therapeutic use of 100% pure oxygen at the pressure greater than 1 atmosphere in a special hyperbaric chamber.
It has been proved that 100 % oxygen has positive physiological effects on all oxygen-starved tissues due to ischemia. It shows as well anti-inflammatory and bactericide effects, improves the blood circulation, has the immunosuppressive effects, regulates the level of prostaglandin in the body, induces collagen synthesis in regenerating tissues, and supports creation of callus at a bone fracture site.
Hyperbaric oxygenation offers a modern possibility of treatment of numerous surgical and interventional diseases, until the other can choose it as an option.
