What is a Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber?
As the name suggests, a Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber is a device that provides oxygen to the human body in an environment with higher atmospheric pressure and oxygen concentration than the local atmosphere. Compared to normal pressure oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen can significantly increase the oxygen tension in the body, effectively enhancing the physical solubility of oxygen in the blood and its diffusion distance in tissues. This helps to improve symptoms of ischemia and hypoxia, thereby enhancing overall body function.
Functions of the Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber
Emergency Treatment for Toxic Gas Poisoning
For cases of carbon monoxide and other toxic gas poisoning, Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber therapy is an especially effective and critical emergency treatment.
Awakening Treatment for Comatose Patients
In recent years, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and viral encephalitis) and traumatic brain injuries from traffic accidents has increased. With advancements in medical rescue technologies, many patients receive timely treatment and achieve stable vital signs. However, they may face consciousness disorders, including coma. Early rehabilitation therapy combining Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber treatment with medication can effectively promote awakening.
Promoting Nerve Damage Recovery
Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber therapy can improve the function of damaged nerves, including incomplete spinal cord injuries, incomplete peripheral nerve injuries, facial nerve inflammation (facial paralysis), and demyelinating diseases. It increases blood oxygen concentration in the affected area, enhances blood circulation, and facilitates nerve function recovery. Combined with other comprehensive treatments such as acupuncture, rehabilitation training, and clinical medication, this therapy achieves significant results.
Treatment of Sudden Hearing Loss
"Sudden hearing loss" or "sensorineural hearing loss" mainly manifests as a sudden decrease in hearing, accompanied by or without symptoms like tinnitus, ear fullness, and dizziness. Besides conventional treatments, Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber therapy is also an important treatment method. Clinical research indicates that combining conventional treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the improvement rate of sudden hearing loss by 20-30% compared to conventional treatment alone.
Applications in the Field of Health Care
Relieving Fatigue and Enhancing Cognitive Ability
Oxygen therapy using a Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber can significantly relieve fatigue symptoms such as insufficient physical strength, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, and poor appetite. Therefore, instead of relying on coffee and smoking for energy, try oxygen therapy instead! For cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, hyperbaric oxygen therapy remains an especially effective and vital emergency treatment.
Beauty and Skin Rejuvenation
Oxygen inhalation enhances the aerobic metabolism of body cells, increases skin nourishment and elasticity, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. By improving the metabolic function of skin cells, hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces melanin deposition, diminishes bruises, and achieves a skin beautification effect.
Preventing Age-Related Diseases
With age, blood vessel hardening and reduced lung function cause a gradual decrease in arterial oxygen partial pressure. Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber therapy significantly raises oxygen levels, effectively preventing the onset of many age-related diseases.
Improving Sub-Health Conditions
Modern life often leads to symptoms like low mood, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, chronic sore throat, and frequent colds, which medical experts classify as sub-health conditions. Surveys estimate that approximately 60% of people are in a sub-health state, with the proportion rising to about 78% among young and middle-aged intellectuals. Experiments show that oxygen therapy using a Lying-Type Hyperbaric Chamber is highly effective in improving sub-health conditions.
