Risks

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a painless non-invasive process. You should feel comfortable at all times during your treatment. If you do not, speak to the technician immediately.

Ears

If any, the most likely side-effect you may feel during your hyperbaric treatments is the pressure changes which affect your eardrum. Your technician will teach you the Valsalva manoeuvre which is a technique that allows you to equalize the pressure in the middle ear and additional techniques which will help you throughout treatment. Any ear pain should be addressed immediately during treatment. Please discuss and notify any problems or concerns you may have with the technician.

Sinus

Sinus squeeze is very rare and is caused by changes in pressure. Pain may be felt around the sinus areas of the face. This usually occurs if the sinuses are blocked by mucus or tissue. Always inform the technician if you are uncomfortable or feel any pain immediately.

Other risks 

Some mild physiological changes and symptoms may present themselves over the course of your treatments; some may be due to medication interactions. It is important that you advise your technician and physician if any of unfamiliar symptoms arise, including but not limited to: 

• Nausea. 

• Changes in vision – temporary changes in eyeglass prescription may occur. These changes may be permanent in about 2% of those patients; usually the change is a vision improvement.

• Numbness or tingling in the fingers or facial twitching. 

• Shortness of breath or dizziness. 

• Restlessness and/or irritability. 

• Tinnitus (ringing of the ears). 

• Out of the ordinary physical or mental changes. 

• Hyperbaric Fatigue Syndrome – fatigue that occurs after treatments.

• Herxheimer Reaction – for patients with infections, fatigue or an enhancement of symptoms may occur as a reaction to the large number of bacteria being destroyed. 

• Oxygen Toxicity – in rare situations, oxygen toxicity can produce a seizure. The seizure has no lasting effect.

Please notify us immediately if any of the above or any the following occurs during your course of treatment. 

Please call us and reschedule your appointments if you develop colds, flu, upper respiratory infection, sinusitis, high fever, viral infection, vomiting, headache, or any other out-of-the-ordinary symptoms or concerns. 

Please let us know if there is anything we can do, in order to ensure your time with us is comfortable and pleasant. If you have any concerns and/or develop problems with your health, call your GP/physician immediately and please inform us. We are here to help you get better.

CONSENT

I , _______________________________________________, hereby consent and authorize Oxygen Therapy staff to administer sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), PEMF therapy or Molecular Hydrogen Ingallation Therapy to me at the Hyperbaric Oxygen Clinic (Clinic). In doing so, I hereby fully understand and acknowledge the following:

I was explained the possible benefits and risks of HBOT, PEMF or Molecular Hydrogen Therapy including as relevant to my specific condition (if applicable). I acknowledge that the physician ultimately responsible for my care is my GP. 

I understand that I am undergoing HBOT, PEMF or Molecular Hydrogen Therapy not for the purpose of Treatment of disease, disorder or injury. I understand that I am only using HBOT as an aid to improve my general wellbeing and/or assist healing. For this reason, the nature and purposes of HBOT have been explained to me, including the option not to have treatment. 

I understand that for best results a full course of sessions should be completed.

I also understand that HBOT, PEMF or Molecular Hydrogen Therapy may need to be repeated in the future, either by repeated sets of treatment or by frequent maintenance treatments to help maintain its benefits. 

Prior to any treatment, I have undergone an Initial Consultation and been given the opportunity to ask any questions I have regarding HBOT, PEMF or Molecular Hydrogen Therapy, and these have all been answered to my satisfaction. I have been informed that I may refuse treatments at any time, or even terminate a treatment whilst in the chamber, and exit the chamber in accordance with the instructions of the chamber operator. 

Before my first treatment, I have informed the Oxygen Therapy of my current health status, all current medications, and therapies, and I agree that it is my responsibility to keep the Oxygen Therapy informed of any changes in my medical condition, medication or therapies before each session and I authorize the Clinic to contact my GP and other involved physicians and share my information if necessary. 

I will follow the instructions of the chamber operator and I will inform them of any concerns before and during the treatment, such as pain, nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness, visual changes, ringing or other noises in ears, unusual smells, fear or anxiety reaction, unusual sweating, changes in heart rhythm, hiccups, chest pain, faintness, mood changes, difficulty breathing or any discomfort. 

I understand that the benefits of HBOT, PEMF or Molecular Hydrogen Therapy may be much greater if I follow a healthy lifestyle, which includes non-smoking, weight control, exercise, proper nutrition and stress management. 

I understand the risks and complications involved with this treatment can include and are not limited to the following: 

I believe the benefits from this treatment, exceed the risks involved. 

No guarantee has been made that the treatment will improve my condition even though it has been carried out with due professional care. If any unforeseen conditions arise during the course of the treatment, I do hereby authorize/request the staff to perform any additional procedures and/or treatments as may be deemed necessary in that time. 

GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS:

Preparing for Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

One of our main objectives is to inform you of what to expect during your hyperbaric treatments with us. Prior to any treatment session you will be asked to come in for an initial consultation for an assessment and taken through an orientation. The purpose of this consultation is to make sure you are suitable for HBOT treatment with a medical assessment and to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to ask any questions, we are here to help you.

Personal Items

For your safety and the safety of those around the chambers, only items approved by our technical team can be taken into the chamber with you. 

Oxygen Therapy and its staff members are not responsible for the loss of any your personal belongings.

Clothing

We advise loose-fitting cotton clothing, and avoid cosmetics, perfumes, hair sprays, deodorants and jewellery. Shoes must be removed, and socks must be worn inside chamber.

Food and drink 

No food/eating is allowed in the chamber. 

It is strongly recommended that you have a light meal one hour prior to your treatment and are well hydrated with water throughout the day. To obtain full benefit from your treatments, it is recommended that you avoid food and beverages that contain caffeine. Consumptions of coffee, tea and caffeinated drinks should be kept to a minimum during the time you are receiving treatment as caffeine constricts blood vessels. Also, alcoholic beverages should be avoided before treatments because of alcohol’s diuretic effect.

Smoking

Nicotine greatly compromises the effectiveness of your treatments and increase the risk of seizures. It constricts blood vessels which decreases blood flow to bone and tissue areas, thus slowing down the healing process by approximately thirty percent. Every attempt should be made to quit or temporarily stop smoking. If you must smoke, please do so as long before your treatment and as late after your treatment as possible.
