Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOTx)

Dr. Uszler has provided brain SPECT imaging on several hundred patients undergoing hyperbaraic oxygen therapy for a variety of neurologic conditions. He has worked in conjunction with Hyperbaric Medicine physicians and providers for more than ten years and is himself a provider of Hyperbarid Therapy.

Dr. Uszler is a regular speaker at the International Hyperbaric Association's pre-conference, and he is a medical advisor to the International Hyperbarics Association.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the delivery of oxygen to a patient in a closed chamber that is pressurized to greater than sea-level, frequently in the range of 1.3 to 1.7 times sea-level. This enables delivery of oxygen to body tissues, such as the brain, that may have decreased or absent blood supply secondary to a disease process, such as a stroke or head injury. (This is not a definitive list of all disease processes).
