Over the last 10 years, QRA has embarked upon a journey of building, amongst others, hypoxic chambers for
a) Sports Organizations (Sport Singapore 2016)
b) Universities (University of Canberra Australia UCRISE and National University of Singapore)
c) Hospitals (Aspire Hospital in Doha Qatar).
Now, we are proud to say, we wish to focus on distributing a top brand of Hyperbaric Chambers, details to be sent out later.
What does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy which is offered in Soft Skin Hyperbaric Chambers do ?
Lets start with the theory shall we ?
There are 2 basic theories which are in the realm of physics :
a) Boyle's Law
b) Henry's Law.
Essentially the application of these 2 laws 2 are these. For a fixed temperature, the higher the pressure, the lower the volume of the gas at constant temperature (Boyle's Law) and Henry's Law states that for a fixed volume, the higher the pressure applied, the more molecules of gas will be in the liquid at equilibrium.
Henry's Law
The amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid.
Breathing oxygen inside the pressure chamber increases the total amount of oxygen delivered to the cells by the bloodstream (Henry’s law). In addition, the increases in pressure result in a decrease in the size of bubbles (Boyle’s Law).
An increase in ambient pressure (and thus partial pressure) results in more gas dissolving into the liquid portion of blood and tissues.
The definition of Henry’s Law (named after William Henry) explains that pressure is necessary for a gas (oxygen) to dissolve effectively in a liquid (blood plasma).
Gas will go from a higher density (lungs) to a lower density (tissues) to achieve equilibrium.
Boyle's Law
If the temperature remains constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure.
Boyle’s Law (named after Robert Boyle) is fundamental to hyperbaric and undersea medicine because it explains the pathophysiology of barotrauma.
Divers can develop bubbles in their bodies during a fast surface ascension or when they stay in the deep too long, a condition called decompression sickness, in which nitrogen dissolved in the blood and tissues by high-pressure forms bubbles as pressure decreases.
Bubbles that have been formed in the body can be reduced in size with hyperbaric chamber pressure. Decreasing bubble size is a primary therapy for decompression sickness.
The effects of Boyle’s law can be felt during chamber pressurization and depressurization. During pressurization, a patient’s ears will feel full, similar to the feeling experienced when traveling in an airplane. The pressure in the ears must be relieved during pressurization using recommended methods.
Studies have shown over the last 3 decades that for mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment, which is providing the atmospheres and O2 levels as such :
a) 1.4 ATA or 1.4 bars
b) O2 at 24 - 28%
there are many health benefits to this treatment, if the person can stay in a Hyperbaric chamber for up to 1.5 hours at a stretch. The total amount of these 'treatments' to optimise the results and not cause harm is less than 50 times per year. In short, one 'treatment' per week.
Our body has 25 trillion cells, and with mHBOT treatment, nutrients and O2 can be input at a far higher rate than at normal atmospheric levels.
Increasing the atmospheric pressure while breathing in enriched O2 atmosphere creates an environment where O2 is dissolved more efficiently into the surrounding liquids, such as blood plasma and cerebospinal fluids.
During mHBOT we breathe O2 under higher than normal atmospheric pressures inside a soft hyperbaric chamber (much like a soft cocoon with windows).
There will be many amazing good effects on health or results from treatment using mHBOT.
Therein is the magic of mHBOT. (Henry and Boyle Law in action).
