Recovery from surgery
What happens during a surgery recovery period?
After a patient has surgery he or she may experience pain, discomfort or long term healing. Complications during and after surgery are more common than most appreciate. Many times the patient will incur swelling, bruising and inflammation which are caused by anaesthetic agents. Although having surgery performed usually outweighs the impairments that come with it, there is likely to be some discomfort after surgery.
During surgery the surgeon may need to make incisions in the tissues, burn the tissue, pull, stretch and remove the diseased tissue which can cause wounds to the tissue. This tissue wounding is then responsible for temporary and permeant disability and may cause complications. Sometimes during surgery the breathing tube can become dislodged and cause damage to the tissue as well. To conclude we see that patients can receive brain damage after surgery.

How can Hbot prevent complications from surgery?
​
Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is beneficial for those who have recently undergone surgery. HBOT improves circulation, and stimulates growth of new connective tissue, blood vessels, bone, and skin. HBOT is relatively painless and can speed up recovery time by multiple days or weeks. HBOT helps reduce symptoms accelerates recovery.
After surgery a patient is likely to experience bruising, swelling and inflammation. HBOT can help reduce the swelling and inflammation and even prevent infections due to improvement of blood circulation around the body. For those who experience complications from the anaesthesia HBOT can help regulate the blood pressure drops, reduce scarring and scar tissue. HBOT after surgery will mean a quicker recovery and return to normal function and every day life.
HBOT is a safe and effective treatment for almost anyone even those with underlying conditions. Patients who undergo complicated surgeries usually have a lengthy recovery period that requires frequent visits to the hospital and aftercare, HBOT can help these patients recover quickly and return their quality of life at a greater speed.
