Safety and Risks of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
While Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is generally a safe procedure, it does carry some risks. Potential risks include:
- Middle ear injuries, such as leaking fluid and eardrum rupture, due to changes in air pressure.
- Temporary nearsightedness (myopia) is caused by temporary changes in the eye lens
- Lung collapse caused by air pressure changes is known as barotrauma.
- Seizures resulting from oxygen toxicity in the central nervous system
- Lowered blood sugar in people with diabetes who are treated with insulin.
- Fire hazards due to the oxygen-rich environment of the treatment chamber
