Rewriting the Outcome from the Root Cause of "Hypoxia": How Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reconstructs Respiratory Health in Patients with Chronic Bronchitis

Definition and Characteristics of Chronic Bronchitis

Limitations of Conventional Treatments

1. Medication
   When patients experience worsened cough, increased sputum production, accompanied by fever and other symptoms, antibiotics should be used under the guidance of doctors. Long-term use or abuse can lead to bacterial resistance, and cause adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal discomfort and allergies.
2. Smoking Cessation
   Smoking cessation is crucial for controlling chronic bronchitis, but it is difficult for heavy smokers to quit. Meanwhile, completely avoiding triggers such as air pollution and cold stimulation is challenging in real life.
3. Rehabilitation Therapy
   Exercise training and breathing exercises can enhance respiratory muscle strength and improve lung function. However, the effects are slow and require long-term adherence.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Mechanism of Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Bronchitis

1. Improving Oxygen Supply
   It can alleviate hypoxia in patients with chronic bronchitis, enhance oxygen uptake by the lungs and oxygen supply to tissues throughout the body, thereby relieving hypoxia.
2. Reducing Inflammatory Response
   By inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, it reduces airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, thereby relieving symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and wheezing.
3. Enhancing Immune Function
   It can improve immune function and resistance, reduce respiratory infections, and thus decrease the frequency of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
4. Accelerating Tissue Repair
   Mild hyperbaric oxygen can stimulate fibroblasts and promote collagen synthesis, thereby accelerating the repair and regeneration of airway mucosa and improving its structure and function.
