The Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Small Animal Medicine

 What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves placing the patient in a pressurized environment of pure oxygen. The higher ambient air pressure allows the body to absorb considerably more oxygen than under normal conditions. The ability for oxygen to travel or be transferred from the blood to the tissue in need is enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen therapy. During veterinary hyperbaric oxygen therapy the patient is placed safely and comfortably in a large chamber with 100% oxygen at pressure 1.5 to 3 times that of normal atmospheric pressure. Treatments are generally 45 minutes long. The total number of treatments necessary varies according to the type of treatment and the patient’s response. Most patients appear calm and relaxed during hyperbaric oxygen therapy (many even fall asleep!) 

Using Hyperbaric Treatment For Pets: The pressure in an air chamber is raised and high oxygen levels are delivered. The high pressure raises the levels of plasma oxygen which allows the oxygen to be scattered evenly in the tissues in a faster pace. Before the hyperbaric treatment is proceeded with, your pet’s health is evaluated. His/her body temperature is checked to ensure that it is normal. Otherwise, it may cause an increased intake of oxygen which may result in toxicity. When pure oxygen is used, a spark may be created which may ignite. It is absolutely crucial to wet your pet so that there is decreased static electricity. How It Works? The pet is then placed in a pet chamber. They come supplied with liquid oxygen tanks and pressure tubes. That way you can monitor the pressure and oxygen being given. The pressure in the air chamber is generally more than normal. The pressure keeps on increasing and the treatment lasts for about 1 or 2 hours. After that decompression is also carried out.Your pet does not face any kind of pain. The treatment is carried out twice in a day for 5 to 10 days. If your pet shows signs of recovery earlier, the treatment may be discontinued.

Hyperbaric Chamber for Veterinary use: This Hyperbaric Chamber was designed to give hyperbaric oxygen therapy to competition camels in a Private Hospital for Camels in the city of Doha, Qatar. These chambers are pressurized with air and oxygen is supplied to the animal through a mask. In recent times it has been proven that the hyperbaric therapy used many years ago for medical treatments of human beings has the same extraordinary effects on animals as is it the case of equines and pets at home. The supply in animals of 100% oxygen under atmospheric conditions higher than normal has successful results to fight a series of diseases and physical problems that may occur in their daily lives or during their training.

Comparison criteria for the evaluation of intraoral scanners: In order for the comparison to be made in the same way, the tests of the intraoral scanners have been carried out using different types of teeth, with full arch scans and also bite scans. The test was carried out in this way because, due to rules in the exhibition, it was not possible for them to carry out the tests directly in the mouth. In order to offer a graphical score, 5 stars were used, so the more stars an intraoral scanner has in one of the criteria, the better. Here is what the comparison criteria were and why:Scanning speed: One of the most important factors when choosing an intraoral scanner is the speed of the scan. Therefore, the first thing that doctors take into account for the development has been the speed of full arch scanning. Although the evaluation is relative, the five star rating gives an idea of which ones are faster or slower. Scanning flow: not only the speed of the scan is relevant, but also how smooth the experience is. Whether the intraoral scanner handles well in the corner and anterior region, or recovers quickly after losing the scan. Also if it joins the images well or if it loses frequency. The assessment of the scan flow, indicates which experience has been irregular or in any case, the lack of response.

Intraoral scanner size: Not only the size of the intraoral scanner head was taken into account, but also the weight and overall size. Although, judging from the overall size, some scanners are heavier and more complicated than others. The focus has been on ergonomics, weight and overall, how comfortable the scanner feels in the hand and when scanning. Ease of use: this criteria takes into account both the hadware and the way the software was managed or if there were any problems with scanning, processing and general workflow. Intraoral scanner price: Another criteria that dentists consider quite important is the price, since this can vary, depending on the cost, complements, distributors or geographical location. No exact numbers are provided, but a relative comparison based on the most expensive and least expensive scanners. Subscription requirements and maintenance packages: The subscription requirement for the use of the intraoral scanner may be mandatory, recommended or not required. The assessment has been made on this basis, as some companies claim that they do not require any kind of subscription, but this is sometimes not entirely true. Many have some kind of annual subscription for support and maintenance and others even require a subscription to be able to use them. Open or closed scan export: all scanners are now open, which allows to export at least one of the following source files STL, OBJ and/or PLY, however, they did not take this criteria into account for the evaluation. Autoclave scanning tips: If the tips can be autoclaved and how many cycles can be completed before replacing them.

Touch screen: the intraoral scanners connected to the trolleys are actually screen-touch. This does not apply to those connected to a laptop via a USB port as the screen will work as a touch screen, but not all the software was designed with touch interaction in mind and can be better handled with a mouse and keyboard.
