HBOT Contraindications

The only absolute contraindication for HBOT is an untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung). It is not safe to treat patients with this condition, which is why a chest x-ray is required before an HBOT treatment plan can begin.

HBOT Potential Side Effect

It is rare, but some patients may experience temporary visual changes with HBOT. To be cautious, patients should not plan to buy new glasses or contact lenses during treatment. Any issues typically resolve 6-8 weeks after HBOT treatment is complete.
