Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) is used in the treatment of different pathologies and it is a priority to establish its safety profile. A retrospective study in healthy individuals was performed, evaluating the effect of HBOT at 1.4 ATA on biochemical indicators. The general and basal status and after 10 and 20 sessions of biochemical parameters in blood sample, on the biochemical markers of coagulation, hematologic values, hepatic function status, and acute reaction were analysed as well. For the 20 healthy subjects, there were no alterations in the general clinical examination due to exposure to HBOT. The mean values (with SD) of the biochemical parameters at 0, 10 and 20 sessions were mostly within reference values range. The results suggest that the treatment does not produce statistically significant changes in the biochemical parameters studied in these conditions.
