Introduction: New effective treatments are sought to eliminate COVID-19-related hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an effective method in the treatment of many diseases accompanied by hypoxia.
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the literature on the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of COVID-19 and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this method.
Materials and methods: Medical databases (Medline and PBL) and websites were reviewed using the terms hyperbaric oxygen and COVID-19. 25 works were qualified for the analysis.
Conclusions: The analysed literature shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an effective and safe method of treating patients with COVID-19. Due to the limited amount of scientific evidence assessing the use of HBOT in COVID-19, there is a need for further research to confirm the effectiveness and safety of this method.
