Severe Burns
Severe burns can compromise not only the skin but also underlying tissues, leading to pain, inflammation, risk of infection, and slow or incomplete healing. When burns affect large surface areas—or involve critical locations like the face, hands, or joints—they require intensive treatment in a specialized burn center.
Why HBOT Is a Powerful Adjunct in Burn Recovery
At Under Pressure, we use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support patients with severe burns by:
- Increasing oxygen supply to damaged tissue, promoting faster cell regeneration
- Reducing edema (swelling) and improving blood flow in injured areas
- Supporting graft survival, particularly in cases involving skin transplant procedures
- Boosting immune response to help fight infection and prevent sepsis
This is especially important during the early inflammatory phase of burn treatment, where oxygen delivery is often severely impaired.
Who Benefits Most from HBOT in Burn Care?
- Patients with deep second- or third-degree burns
- Those requiring skin grafts or reconstructive surgery
- Individuals at high risk for wound infection or graft failure
What to Expect from Your Recovery
With HBOT as part of your treatment plan, many patients experience:
- Reduced need for surgical debridement
- Improved graft take rates
- Shorter hospital stays and better cosmetic outcomes
Why Choose Under Pressure?
We work in coordination with burn specialists to develop personalized HBOT plans based on burn severity, location, and stage of healing. Our facility is equipped for high-acuity patients, with compassionate care and close monitoring throughout the treatment process.
The treatment process
Initial consultation
Treatment Process
- Session Format: Sessions last approximately 60-120 minutes. Patients are comfortably positioned in the chamber and monitored closely throughout.
- Treatment Frequency: In the early stages, twice-daily sessions may be recommended. This may taper as healing progresses.
- During and After Treatment: Most patients report reduced swelling, improved pain control, and a general sense of tissue relief post-session.
Preparing for your HBOT treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid petroleum-based topical products before treatment.
- Clean and dry the skin areas, especially wounds or grafts.
- Wear loose, cotton clothing free of synthetic fibers.
- Post-Treatment Instructions: Wound care protocols should be followed as directed. Notify staff of any graft changes, irritation, or discomfort.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT: Patients with untreated pneumothorax or those unable to equalize ear pressure may need special consideration. Our team will assess safety based on your complete medical profile.
Expected Outcomes
- Recovery Timeline: Accelerated wound closure, improved oxygenation, and greater graft viability can often be seen within the first few sessions.
- Long-Term Benefits: HBOT supports better skin regeneration, lower infection risk, and improved physical and cosmetic recovery in burn survivors.
