NOTE It is forbidden to access the hyperbaric room in a state of intoxication, if you have consumed narcotics, for pregnant women or children under 7 years old. It is forbidden to access the hyperbaric room with lighters, bottles with drinks or food, metal objects, electrical devices, mobile phones, tablets, laptops. Possible side effects With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, side effects are generally mild and related to the significant changes in pressure inside the chamber as well as the increased levels of oxygen used. In most cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is well tolerated, non-invasive and produces very few side effects. Possible side effects may include: Ear barotrauma The main side effect reported in hyperbaric oxygen therapy is ear discomfort or injury due to increased air pressure. In most cases, this is similar to the pain or discomfort you might experience on a trip through the mountains, or the pressure in the cabin you feel when flying on an airplane. Oxygen toxicity Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works well within safe limits of oxygen levels, and the risk of oxygen toxicity is rare. In the case of oxygen toxicity, convulsions may occur. It is more likely to occur in patients with pre-existing seizure disorders or hypoglycemia. If this happens, the treatment is simply to stop the HBOT therapy, and the seizures will stop. Vision changes Changes in air pressure that occur during hyperbaric oxygen treatments can cause vision changes. These changes are temporary and usually return to normal after hyperbaric oxygen therapy is completed. Hypoglycemia Patients with diabetes may experience a drop in blood sugar during hyperbaric oxygen treatments. In these cases, the patient may be encouraged to eat before entering treatment and may require regular blood glucose monitoring during treatments.
