Called the "chamber of life", the advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Machine is no ordinary device. And the machine's impressive track record speaks for itself.
Used for administering 100 per cent pure oxygen to patients in a chamber at a pressure greater than the atmosphere absolute, the machine is used for "treating" and giving to severely ill patients the "extra-edge" to fight and overcome their disease.
The advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Machine is now available in the Central Government-run Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital -- the only Government hospital in the Capital to have the facility making this otherwise expensive and exclusive treatment accessible to even the poorest of the poor.
Benefit
Speaking about why the hospital is so proud of its newly acquired Rs. 1.2-crore machine, RML Medical Superintendent Dr. N. K. Chaturvedi said: "We have had several seriously ill patients benefit from this therapy. A classical case that we had a few weeks ago was that of a senior Central Government official, who having wrapped up his day at office was headed home when he experienced a sudden loss of hearing. Puzzled and worried, he rushed to RML Hospital, where he was recommended the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His hearing was restored in just one sitting. Now the benefit of this advanced technology is made available in the Government sector. In fact, victims from the Capital's Sarojini Nagar bomb blast case were treated and saved using this therapy."
Injury cases
The therapy according to physicians at the hospital has proved extremely beneficial in brain injury cases, gangrene, soft tissue infections, problem wounds, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, excessive blood loss and sudden deafness.
"The advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provides immediate support to areas with compromised blood flow. It causes immune stimulation by restoring white blood cell function, reduced tissue swelling and increases antimicrobial activity by causing toxic inhibition. There are also cases where we have seen beneficial effects in the preservation of tissues that may otherwise be lost," explained Dr. Mridula Pawar, Head of Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care at Lohia Hospital.
The add-on features of the new machine at the hospital includes -- allowing the doctors to alter and maintain the atmosphere within the chamber according to the changing needs of
