Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Gellie, You wrote below that you are " over the 120 hour mark " . Can you tell us what protocal you used? How many hours of soft chamber HBOT per day? How much oxygen? What was the ATA? How old is your child? I have heard that lowering the dosage (ATA and oxygen) of HBOT sometimes helps. I have also heard that some respond after 6 months of dives. Looking forward to your response.

I asked him what the protocol is for HBOT. He told me that to determine if a child is a responder to HBOT (soft chamber), he is recommending 1.5 hours in the morning, and 1.5 hours in the afternoon or at night for 1 month. Take a break then do it again for another 40 hours. In our case, since we are over the 120 hour mark, he is now recommending 1.5 hours everyday.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 AK, My daughter is 8 years old and low functioning. Out of all the biomedical interventions we had, we have had the most gains with HBOT. When we started doing the soft chamber (1.3) without mask HBOT last March 2007. We were diving 1.5 hours 6 days a week for the first 80 hours. We were told that wearing a mask would be better but my daughter had sensory issues and would refuse it. THen we took 2 weeks rest period and had another set of 40 hours this time at 1 hour/day 5 days a week. I noticed slight regression during this time. Without telling Dr. Neubrander about the slight regression problem we are having.. He advised us to go for 1.5 hours again 7 days a week. What we noticed was: Dives 1-6 : increased stimming and hyperactivity Dives 7-15 : increased awareness, and when she says no she really means it. Dives 20-30 : her words got clearer. (she can only use simple sentences to say what she wants.. all mand words.. I want egg, I want water) Dives 30-70: Began to learn how to sight read and cvc words. Dives 70-120: Words improved..( " I want egg " Gives me a pan and says " Cook the egg " ), more tantrums when we don't give her what she wants. Dives 120 onwards: Beginning to write words independently. Of course writes her favorite.. " Egg " Of course I had to ask Dr. Neubrander if I should go to hard chamber soon, and his answer.. No.. he gave an explanation about Boyles Law, Law and another Gas law.. but the answer was still No Hope this helps, Gellie > > > > We are now able to start HBOT with this kind of chamber in DC.
