What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (“HBOT”) is a method of delivering pure oxygen at two to three times greater than atmospheric pressure to a patient in order to improve or correct a medical condition.

SLIDE 3

Delivery of pressurized oxygen

Providing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber can deliver 10 to 15 times more

xygen than if it was

delivered at normal atmospheric levels.

SLIDE 4

What can HBOT do?

HBOT promotes growth of new blood vessels
Strong anti-inflammatory action and decrease edema
Improve immune system function (to fight infection)
Deactivates and clears out toxins and metabolic waste
Decrease oxidative stress through up-regulating oxidant

enzymes.

HBOT has shown to mobilize stem cells from bone marrow to

systemic circulation

SLIDE 5

Who can benefit from HBOT?

SLIDE 6

Evidence-based medicine

The Undersea &

Hyperbaric Society (“UHMS”) has partnered with the FDA to approve several clinical uses in the United States for HBOT.

SLIDE 7

Current approved conditions for HBOT

Air or gas embolism
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Decompression sickness
Gas gangrene
Crush injury / acute traumatic ischemia
Skin grafts and flaps
Diabetic foot ulcers / wound care
Exceptional blood loss anemia
Necrotizing soft tissue infection
Osteomyelitis
Delayed radiation injury

SLIDE 8

Off-label HBOT treatment conditions

Ischemic leg pain
Sickle cell crisis
Cerebral palsy
Autism
Facial palsy
Central and branch retinal occlusion
Ulcerative colitis
Aseptic osteonecrosis
Sports injury
Stroke (acute and chronic)
Head injuries

SLIDE 9

Contraindications of HBOT

Absolute contraindication:
Pneumothorax or collapsed

lung injury

Relative contraindications:
Upper respiratory infection

& chronic sinusitis

High fever
Asthma
Pregnancy
Severe emphysema or

COPD

SLIDE 10

How may HBOT benefit children with autism?

The mechanism of action of Hyperbaric Oxygen

Therapy in treating autism is not entirely known, but recent studies suggest:

Increased cerebral blood flow
Immune function enhancement
Diminished gastrointestinal inflammation and

inflammatory markers

SLIDE 11

SPECT Imaging: Before & After HBOT

SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) shows

improvements from HBOT that is sustained over time.

SLIDE 12

Measurement of HBOT Outcomes

In a study, children with autism who received

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 1.5 ata and 100%

xygen for 40 (45 minute) treatments were

measured using:

The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC)
The Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS)
The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS)

SLIDE 13

HBOT Study Outcomes

Parents reported significant improvements in:
Irritability
Lethargy
Hyperactivity
Motivation
Sensory and

cognitive awareness

SLIDE 14

Overall Reported Outcomes

Improvements were shown in:
Overall functioning
More language
Calmer and more affectionate
Better eye contact
More “present”
Less sensory disturbance
Less obsessions
Improved sleep
Improved focus / attention
Improved cognition
Improved bowel health
Social improvements

SLIDE 15

Reported Side Effects of HBOT

Barotrauma
Sinus squeeze
Serious otitis
Claustrophobia
Reversible myopia
Seizures (incidence is 1-3 in 10,000 cases)

SLIDE 16

Most common side effects of HBOT*

Nervousness
Mood swings

*This is due to the greater awareness and independence brought on by therapy.

SLIDE 17

Evidence Based Medicine

Based on recent study evidence, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offers to be a promising treatment for children with autism.
