Promising Research our of Wuhan
Promising case report out of Wuhan that demonstrates successful treatment of critical and severe patients using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). With just four to seven treatments lasting 2 hours each at 1.6 ATA of pressure. This team showed drastic lasting improvements in SPO2 and lung functions and ultimate survival of each patient.
“Clinical reports and pathologic anatomic findings shown, progressive hypoxemia is the main cause of deterioration in patients with COVID-19."The mortality rate of critical patients in WuHan is close to 60%, and we are trying to solve the problem of hypoxia," Zhong Nanshan said on 27th Feb. HBOT is the strongest non-invasive oxygen therapy. In the early stage, 5 cases of severe and critical patients with COVID-19 were clinically treated, which proved that the long-term excellent clinical effect of using HBOT in treating hypoxia was also applicable to COVID-19 patients. The effect of HBOT is better than breathing atmospheric high flow oxygen and mechanical ventilation techniques. It is suggested that promote HBOT as an oxygen therapy treatment for critically ill patients with COVID-19, which is expected to significantly improve the treatment efficiency, reduce the medical pressure and the risk of infection, and decrease the mortality rate of critical patients. It has practical significance for further accelerating the overall victory of this epidemic, achieving the most effective treatment and realizing infection prevention control.”

Mild Hyperbaric Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment, at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Increased pressure allows for oxygen to dissolve and saturate the blood plasma (independent of hemoglobin/red blood cells), which yields a broad variety of positive physiological, biochemical and cellular effects. This noninvasive therapy is the most trusted way to increase oxygen levels to all organs of the body. The typical treatment lasts for 60-90 minutes, during which the patient lies down and breathes normally.
HBOT has been demonstrated in several clinical studies to enhance the body’s innate ability to repair and regenerate. It is used as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions.
Massage
Massage and Hyperbaric therapy are a wonderful combination to reducing your stress and speeding recovery. At Ohana Hyperbarics you are in good hands with our experienced Licensed Massage therapists. We offer relaxation, deep tissue and Swedish.
AVACEN - Dry Heat Microcirculation
The AVACEN is a patented and FDA-Cleared Class II medical device that uses cutting edge technology developed by AVACEN Medical to reduce pain . It incorporates heat therapy and negative pressure to increase local circulation and infuse heat into a unique vascular network, located in the palm of the hand. Raising the blood temperature at this “single point treatment” (the palm) increases blood temperature throughout the body naturally via the circulatory system. This can benefit the entire body. This is an excellent compliment to your massage and hyperbaric therapies or can be done at home to maintain pain reduction. For more information : https://nulifeventures.com/Ohanahyperbarics
