What Contraindications Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Encounter?

There are only a few absolute contraindications to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Patients with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax require special caution.

Other considerations include smoking history, emphysema, COPD, and difficulty equalizing ear pressure.

This is why proper screening and physician supervision are essential for safe HBOT.
