Gaining up-to-date knowledge in this field of medicine is key to improving patient quality of life. Specializing in hyperbaric oxygenation treatment can be help in resolving many different diseases”

The creation of new generation hyperbaric chambers which are easier to use, more affordable and easier to install in public and private health institutions, has led different professionals to incorporate this tool into their daily practice. 

The Postgraduate diploma in Hyperbaric Medicine. Fundamentals, Effects and Indications of HBOT will allow the healthcare professional to delve into the use of these mechanisms. The program provides solid and up-to-date education in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This will allow the health professional to develop the skills necessary to identify and adequately solve different cases of pathologies or therapeutic practices, for which hyperbaric oxygenation can be effective and efficient. 

The program begins with a brief historical overview of the beginning of Hyperbaric Medicine, the first indications of what would become a hyperbaric chamber and the empirical discovery of the beneficial effects of the combination of increased pressure and oxygen on human physiology. The student will be introduced to the beginning of the scientific period of Hyperbaric Medicine and the development of Underwater Medicine, as well as the accompaniment of diving medicine in the understanding and development of this treatment in clinical applications in different countries. 

The basics of HBOT will also be presented in a practical and simple way. The physical laws of Henry, Dalton, and Boyle and Mariotte are explained in order to incorporate the concept of volumetric and solumetric effect. Likewise, the mathematical model of Krogh is presented, which allows to know the effect of oxygen perfusion radius at different treatment pressures. In addition, the different types of hypoxia are detailed so that the student can understand the hypoxic bases of the different pathologies and recognize the therapeutic applications of hyperoxia. 

On the other hand, the specialist will learn, through this program, the most relevant physiological effects: vasoconstriction, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, osteogenesis, neuroprotection, peripheral axonal regeneration, bactericidal effect, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect.

Finally, the last module of this Postgraduate diploma reaffirms and emphasizes the contraindications of HBOT and adverse events, and presents the safety of HBOT. Clinical cases drawn from the experience of different professionals and teachers of this program are also shown.
