Listen now
Description
How about a treatment that circulates oxygen around the body dissolved in plasma rather than haemoglobin that diffuses oxygen into those hard to reach spots like damaged tissue with poor blood supply and deep seated infections? How useful is that! I talk to Annette McFadgen VN from Town and Country Vets in Nelson, NZ about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.·         What is HBOT?·         Is it considered mainstream therapy or alternative medicine?·         What does the machine look like?·         How different from the machine used for treating decompression sickness is it?·         How does HBOT work?·         What are the indications?·         Are there any contraindications?·         How do animals react to the treatment?·         Can the machine blow up?!
