QUESTION
Would hperbaric oxygen treatments be considered treatment for TBI?
Asked on Sep 16th, 2012 on Personal Injury - Louisiana
More details to this question:
I'm wondering what is included in the term "seek treatment" for TBI cases. So far, I've only been directed towards a drug. From my own research I found that the therapeutic oxygen treatments look like a good choice. I'm just wondering if that would be considered a treatment.

I cannot answer the question whether the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment is appropriate treatment for a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is a medical question, not a legal question. I am not a doctor and cannot give medical advice. You should ask your physician your question.

I am not a doctor. Hyperbaric oxygen is basically oxygen being delivered under pressure. If the doctor thinks that the increased oxygen uptake could "kick start" some of the damaged brain cells, then it would be okay. I have never heard of it in that context, but then, I am just a lawyer. It is usually used to treat infections from anaerobic bacteria, such as Clostridium Welchii, that can cause gas gangrene.

I am not sure. You may want to discuss this with a medical professional. If this is recommended by a medical professional, then I wouldn't see why it would not be considered treatment.
