“. . . If they made HBO
available for everything it works for, three -fourths of the nursing homes in
this country would shut down inside of six months. Everybody would go home. They

the backs of wrists, hands and around ankles.
Chronic myocardial ischemic disease, where
the older heart is just not receiving enough oxygen bearing red blood cells to
power it along.
These are all of the major
indications for the use of HBOT in the older person. "The main object of HBO is
to counteract tissue hypoxia and improve metabolism. Both of these are important
in disturbances of the brain, which constitute a major portion of the problems
in geriatric patients treated by HBOT" KK.
