290. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Trenton Ewing

from The Derm Vet Podcast Hosted by Ashley Bourgeois, DVM, Dip ACVD

Send me a derm question or story through text or voicemail! Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the use of supplemental oxygen in a chamber under increased pressure so the blood oxygen concentration increases which facilitates healing. There are not many veterinary practices that have HBOT for pets. However, we are lucky enough to have Trenton Ewing, DVM, DACVD back on the podcast to discuss HBOT since his practice (Animal Dermatology Clinic in Pasadena, CA) has had HBOT available for years! Learn what diseases he has used this therapy to treat, what a typical HBOT "dive" looks like and how this therapy works! Not only can you check out our conversation on traditional podcast apps, but check out the YouTube channel which includes pictures and videos! 00:00 Intro 01:12 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Trenton Edwards 02:34 What is an HBOT? 04:36 Common cases referred to HBOT 07:15 Typical HBOT Dive Protocol 09:00 Issues doing it long-term? 12:15 How stressful is it be for pets? 14:12 Training for HBOT 16:28 Contraindications 19:56 How available is HBOT? 23:12 Downsides 24:00 Final Thoughts/Outro
