Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is emerging in veterinary medicine as an effective treatment or adjunct therapy for a variety of disorders in which improving oxygen delivery to tissues is a priority. The primary mechanisms of action of HBOT are (1) immediate hyperoxygenation of plasma and tissues and (2) decreased gas bubble (air embolus) size. With each hyperbaric 'dive,' secondary physiologic effects are set into motion. This article provides an introduction to HBOT, as well as its benefits, potential indications, contraindications, complications, and future directions in small animal veterinary medicine.
高压氧疗法（HBOT）正在兽医学中崭露头角，成为治疗各种疾病或辅助治疗的有效方法，这些疾病中改善组织的氧气输送是首要任务。HBOT的主要作用机制是：（1）血浆和组织立即过度氧合；（2）减小气泡（空气栓子）大小。每次高压“潜水”都会引发一系列继发性生理效应。本文介绍了HBOT及其在小动物兽医学中的益处、潜在适应症、禁忌症、并发症和未来发展方向。
