Hyperbaric Services

How your hospital will benefit from our Hyperbaric Medicine Program?

LST can provide complete hyperbaric services, with or without wound care, to best customize and complement your hospital operation.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) enhances the natural healing process in the body by increasing blood oxygen levels. Normally, only red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body. By breathing 100% O2 under pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen is dissolved into all of the body’s tissues. This assists white blood cells to fight bacteria, reduces tissue swelling, and allows new blood vessels to form, which in return helps with the formation of new healthy tissue and overall healing. HBOT is a non-invasive and painless treatment in a monoplace (single patient) or multiplace (two or more patients) hyperbaric chamber. It is an adjunctive therapy, which means it is generally part of an overall care plan, integrated with wound care, diet and other treatment.

TESTIMONIALS

From my very first session, I was greeted by a group of wonderful professionals that explained the procedure to me and watched over me while I was in the chamber. The crew always answered my questions patiently and thoroughly. Not only did they see to the clinical aspect of my treatment, but they always checked on my comfort level several times during the treatment. If I requested anything, they always complied quickly and with a smile.

The staff go above and beyond the call of duty. They have patience, are funny, and are very personable. It makes it a pleasure to go for my treatments. I have claustrophobia and being inside this tube for 2 hours a day is a very difficult task, but these gentlemen ease my anxiety every morning. Upon entering the waiting room they greet me and walk me down to the hyperbaric chamber in a way that makes me feel important. When I am anxious when in the chamber they talk to me and assure me that everything is ok and they are present for me in a way that bolsters my confidence. I cannot say enough about them, they are just wonderful.
