KUWAIT CITY, May 20: The inauguration of the hyperbaric oxygen therapy unit at Kuwait Hospital, led by Dr. Abrar Al-Husseini and Dr. Ahmed Amir, marks a significant advancement in medical care, reports Al-Qabas daily. This unit offers oxygen therapy under increased pressure to achieve therapeutic benefits by enhancing the concentration of oxygen inhaled. The primary focus of this therapy is to address cases of poor blood vessel perfusion.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves administering oxygen at higher- than-normal atmospheric pressure, allowing patients to breathe in high doses of oxygen in a controlled, pressurized environment. Treatment consists of multiple sessions where patients spend time in an oxygenated chamber, facilitating the diffusion of oxygen into tissues to alleviate irritation and promote healing. The unit specializes in treating various conditions, including diabetic foot cases, complex wounds, burns, anemia, and strokes. By improving blood flow and aiding the healing process, these treatments mitigate the risk of complications and enhance patients’ overall quality of life. With a specialized medical team and state-of-the-art technologies, the Vascular Surgery Unit at Kuwait Hospital stands ready to provide comprehensive care to patients in need.
