Application of hyperbaric oxygen chamber in the treatment of pet diseases

In recent years, the application of hyperbaric oxygen chamber in the veterinary field has gradually attracted attention. Although it has been clinically used in the field of human medicine as early as the 1960s, the application of hyperbaric oxygen chamber in the field of pet medicine is still in its infancy. Its principle is similar to that of human medicine. By injecting high-concentration oxygen into the animal's body under high pressure, it helps to improve the postoperative condition of the sick pet, increase the cure rate and reduce the disability rate. In addition, from the perspective of "receiving qi and returning to the origin" in traditional Chinese medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy also has a certain rehabilitation effect on diseases such as respiratory system, urinary system and nerve damage of sick pets. Therefore, hyperbaric oxygen chambers are often used together with acupuncture and other therapies to treat various diseases of pets, such as acute brain injury, paralysis, limb weakness, incontinence, etc.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have certain advantages in the treatment of certain diseases, but they are expensive, have limited use scenarios and are complicated to operate, resulting in few pet hospitals and clinics that actually use them. Nevertheless, with the continuous development of the pet medical industry, especially the rise of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, the use of hyperbaric oxygen chambers by pets has gradually increased.

On the Internet, more and more pet owners have shared their successful cases of using hyperbaric oxygen chambers to treat their sick pets.

Although hyperbaric oxygen chambers have certain advantages in treating certain diseases, veterinarians generally believe that not all diseases are suitable for hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment. Before using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the doctor needs to evaluate the pet's condition to determine whether it is worth the necessary treatment. In addition, accidents have occurred in hyperbaric oxygen chambers, so during the operation, veterinarians and pet owners need to be cautious and follow relevant operating procedures to prevent accidents.
