Jaundice in babies
Jaundice is still a major problem affecting babies in the country. Reducing or eliminating the impacts of jaundice has not been better than what it was for decades yet.

The direct impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy -hbot on the reduction of damages observed in hyperbilirubinemia/jaundice is not fully utilised.

Administering high dose oxygen under pressure has the following effects and advantages:
-displacement of bile salts attached to tissues.
-maturation of the liver and kidneys in premature and and low birth weight babies.
- normalising pH of blood within 24 hours of hbot.
-bilirubin is reduced within 3-4days.
-normalising liver function tests parameters within 5days.

Prolonged high level bilirubin in the blood causes brain damage which is very difficult to treat by regular methods.

HBOT ammeliorates the effect of brain damage caused by jaundice much faster and much better than any other treatment available.

HBOT repairs damaged brain cells.

This info can help save lives by improving morbidity and mortality of babies and infants.

We have come across mothers who claim they were not told by their attending physicians. The reason is hbot is not easily a available everywhere but anyone interested in hbot can enquire through our
whatsapp number. We are available only on request so you need to book ahead.
Always come with your diagnosis to make things easier.

We are ready to partener with other health practitioners, hospitals and clinics.

HBOT providers.

Good to know.

You mean in essence, HBO therapy is better than EBT, phototherapy and chemotherapy; which have been used to manage neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia?

Phototherapy alone will do the trick

EBT, phototherapy, chemo are good in the areas they are indicated for.

HBOT is an inovation that works better where available. It can save time and further damage that results from incomplete treatment or negative effects of photoT and blood incompatibility.
Children who had photoT and EBT were also part of the crowd at children's neurological clinics.

Not in all cases; that is why EBT
is introduced.
