Mechanism of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber in Relieving Drunkenness

1. Rapidly increase blood oxygen concentration to counteract hypoxia caused by alcohol

• Alcohol inhibits the respiratory center and reduces pulmonary ventilation efficiency, leading to hypoxia.
• Hyperbaric oxygen greatly increases dissolved oxygen in the blood, directly correcting hypoxia and rapidly improving dizziness, headache, nausea, drowsiness and confusion.

2. Accelerate alcohol metabolism and shorten drunkenness duration

• Alcohol metabolism mainly relies on alcohol dehydrogenase → acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver.
• Hyperbaric oxygen improves tissue oxygen supply, enhances the activity of liver metabolic enzymes, accelerates the decomposition of alcohol and acetaldehyde, and significantly speeds up sobriety.

3. Reduce acetaldehyde toxicity and protect the brain

• Acetaldehyde, the intermediate product of alcohol, is highly toxic and can cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, palpitations and brain damage.
• Hyperbaric oxygen can:
  • Reduce the toxicity of acetaldehyde to brain cells
  • Alleviate cerebral edema
  • Improve cerebral microcirculation
  • Reduce hangover headache, brain fog and memory loss.

4. Protect vital organs: heart, liver, brain

• Myocardial hypoxia
• Ischemic and hypoxic liver injury
• Inhibition and damage of brain cells
