Our center is staffed with a unique team of doctors, nurses and therapists all dedicated to caring temporary or permanent usrostomy / ileostomy/ colostomy.
Whatever it takes for caring an ostomy, we are equipped and staffed to make it convenient for you.
An absolute clinical contraindication for HBOT is a patient with an untreated pnuemothrax or with a significant history of spontaneous pnemothrax. In the hyperbaric setting, a recurrent pulmonary leak at the parietal or visceral pleura could lead to the rapid development of a tension pnemothrax and significant cardiovascular compromise
Other considerations for treatment include recent or significant ear or sinus surgery, and an acute if poorly controlled with anti-seizure medications. In addition, claustrophobia is a relative contraindication in 10-15% of patients selected to receive HBOT.
On average, treatments last about two hours. This includes the time to pressurize and depressurize the chamber plus 90 minutes at the prescribed treatment depth.
The number of treatments is not pre-set because each person responds differently to the therapy. The average number of treatments required to heal a patient with a problem wound is 20 to 40.
Generally, the physician currently treating you will refer you to our Center for Specialized Care.
You may arrange an appointment directly. During your visit for your first appointment, we will be asking you a few questions about your ostomy and general health.
Ideally, a patient receives ostomy care every 5-7 days. However, the staff evaluates the patients' physical activity because it may affect the adherence ability of the appliance being used. During ostomy care, the staff observes for stomal complication and irregularity. Through frequent patient visit, the staff will be able to positively manage the stoma and at the same time, promote independence and build patient confidence in performing daily tasks.
