Implication

Modest BP rises occur with HBO₂; retrospective data leave open whether monitoring or protocol adjustments are warranted.

Structured PICO

Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy increase blood pressure in patients undergoing treatment?

P
Population
n=155 patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy between March 2012 and October 2015 at a large tertiary referral university hospital hyperbaric center
I
Intervention
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy (total 3,147 treatments)
O
Outcome
Change in median systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) following treatmentsafety

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is associated with a small absolute rise in blood pressure, an effect that is exacerbated by beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers but mitigated by ACE inhibitors and repeated treatments.
