Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a supervised oxygen-based treatment approach used as part of a clinical care plan for selected wounds, diabetic-foot complications, post-surgical recovery support, and tissue-healing concerns.
At the practice of Dr. V B Narayan Murthy, HBOT guidance is positioned within careful assessment, reconstructive judgment, diabetic-foot care, and patient safety.
HBOT involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber under professional supervision. The goal is to increase oxygen availability to tissues and support healing in carefully selected cases.
It is not a stand-alone cure and should not delay urgent medical care. Instead, it is considered as one part of a broader plan that may include wound care, infection control, diabetes management, vascular assessment, surgery, dressings, offloading, and follow-up.
The right use of HBOT depends on diagnosis, wound status, vascular supply, infection control, diabetes control, and the patient’s overall medical condition.
Supportive oxygen-based care may be considered for selected wounds that need additional healing support.
HBOT can be evaluated alongside offloading, dressings, infection care, and limb-salvage planning.
Selected patients may benefit from structured supportive care during tissue recovery after surgery or injury.
Every patient requires clinical review before deciding whether HBOT is appropriate and safe.
The process is designed to be structured, transparent, and safety-led. Patients are guided through evaluation, planning, sessions, and follow-up so that HBOT remains connected to the larger medical goal.
Dr. V B Narayan Murthy reviews the wound, diagnosis, comorbidities, red flags, and treatment history.
The care team screens for risks and explains realistic goals, limitations, and alternatives.
If suitable, sessions are scheduled with clear instructions and monitoring expectations.
Progress is reviewed with wound status, symptom changes, and the broader care plan in mind.
The expected benefit varies by condition. HBOT should always be discussed with a qualified clinician who understands the patient’s wound, circulation, infection status, and overall health.
Pressurized oxygen exposure is used to support oxygen delivery to selected tissues under clinical supervision.
HBOT may assist selected wound-healing processes when combined with appropriate wound and medical care.
It works best when coordinated with surgical expertise, diabetic-foot care, infection control, and follow-up.
Dr. V B Narayan Murthy brings a surgical and wound-care perspective to HBOT decision-making. This matters because oxygen therapy should be integrated with the full clinical picture, not treated as an isolated procedure.
Not every patient is suitable for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Screening may include review of lung history, ear or sinus problems, oxygen sensitivity risks, medications, recent procedures, uncontrolled infection concerns, and overall medical stability.
Severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, sudden weakness, spreading infection, high fever, blackening tissue, rapidly worsening diabetic-foot wounds, or uncontrolled bleeding should be treated as urgent medical situations.

These answers are general. Final recommendations depend on clinical examination and individual medical history.
Most patients do not describe HBOT as painful, but some may notice ear pressure or sinus discomfort due to pressure changes. This is one reason screening and monitoring are important.
The number of sessions depends on the diagnosis, wound response, treatment goals, and the larger care plan. Dr. V B Narayan Murthy can discuss likely expectations after assessment.
HBOT should not be viewed as a stand-alone cure. Diabetic-foot care may also require offloading, wound dressings, infection control, vascular assessment, sugar control, debridement, surgery, and close follow-up.
Some medical conditions may make HBOT unsuitable or require special precautions. Patients should disclose lung disease, ear or sinus issues, medications, recent surgery, pregnancy, seizures, and all major health concerns before treatment.
Book a consultation so the wound or recovery concern can be reviewed. If HBOT is appropriate, the care team can explain session planning, precautions, and follow-up.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. V B Narayan Murthy to understand whether HBOT is suitable for your condition and how it should fit into your broader treatment plan.
