Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is widely used to treat several pathologies. The hemodynamic changes during HBOT, particularly the magnitude of arterial blood pressure (ABP) increase, are not completely understood. No clinical predictors for HBOT-induced ABP increase have been described. The purpose of this study was to quantify ABP changes in patients undergoing HBOT and to examine their predictors. This retrospective longitudinal cohort study examined 3291 elective HBOT sessions. Non-invasive ABP was recorded before and after each session. The primary outcome was to quantify the HBOT-induced ABP rise. The secondary outcome was to determine the ABP-rise predictors among demographic and clinical variables. Overall, ABP increased significantly after HBOT; this finding was more evident in the hypertensive subgroup compared to the normotensive one (+6 vs. +16.2 mmHg). Clinical predictors of significant post-HBOT ABP change were history of hypertension and pre-session baseline ABP classification. This study demonstrates an absolute HBOT-induced ABP rise. This change is clinically relevant in patients with history of hypertension. A higher baseline ABP seems a risk factor for clinically relevant ABP change. Pre-session ABP should be used clinically as an indicator for strict ABP monitoring during HBOT; future studies are recommended to explore the ABP optimization before starting an HBO treatment.
