Patients with many different problems
have benefited fro HBO (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy). Some of the
most common problems are non-healing wounds (especially in diabetics),
osteomyelitis (bone infections), radiation injury to the bone
or soft tissue, decompression illness, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
HBO is a medical treatment in which the entire body is under
increased atmospheric pressure and the patient breathes 100% oxygen.
The treatment is administered in a pressurized chamber. It is
proven effective for a number of medical and surgical conditions
either as a primary treatment or in addition to other medical
treatments such as antibiotics or surgery.
Moses Taylor Hospital is pleased to provide this treatment
option for our outpatient community. For further information please
contact the center at (570) 340-3151.
