COVID-19 Long Haul

COVID-19 long haul, also known as long COVID-19 or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), describes the lingering symptoms that persist for weeks or months after the acute phase of the infection has resolved. In addressing the challenges faced by those suffering from this condition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a promising intervention. At MD Hyperbaric, our team specializes in using HBOT to aid patients struggling with the long-term effects of COVID-19. The dedicated professionals at MD Hyperbaric are committed to harnessing the restorative power of HBOT, crafting personalized treatment plans to support patients on their journey to regain vitality and wellness after their battle with long COVID-19.

Treatment of long COVID-19 offers numerous benefits, directly addressing the complex symptoms associated with this condition. Patients who opt for HBOT at MD Hyperbaric can look forward to:

  • Alleviation of chronic fatigue: A significant reduction in the pervasive tiredness that long COVID-19 sufferers often experience
  • Improved cognitive functions: Enhancements in memory, focus, and the reduction of "brain fog" symptoms
  • Enhanced respiratory health: Assistance in the recovery of lung function and ease of breathing difficulties
  • Reduced inflammation: A decrease in systemic inflammation, which is a common issue in long COVID-19 patients
  • Quicker recovery process: Acceleration of the overall healing process, helping patients return to their normal activities sooner

Candidates for COVID-19 long haul treatment typically include individuals who continue to experience lingering symptoms after their initial recovery from the acute phase of the virus. These symptoms may include persistent fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and other debilitating conditions that significantly impact daily life. Suitable candidates often find that traditional treatments have not fully alleviated their symptoms and are seeking an alternative approach to aid in their recovery. HBOT may be considered particularly beneficial for those who have evidence of ongoing inflammation, impaired oxygenation, or other physiological markers indicating that their bodies are struggling to fully heal from the effects of the virus.

Undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provides a unique experience for those battling the long-term effects of COVID-19. Patients will relax in a specially designed chamber where they breathe in 100% oxygen at pressures greater than what is found at sea level. This controlled setting significantly boosts the oxygen saturation in the bloodstream, and by extension, the body's tissues. Such an increase in oxygen levels plays a pivotal role in mitigating long-term symptoms by stimulating the body's healing mechanisms, diminishing inflammation, and bolstering immune cell functionality. As a result, HBOT acts directly on the persistent symptoms of long COVID-19, facilitating a smoother and more comprehensive recovery process for those seeking relief from this condition's enduring impacts.
