Retrospective Analysis of CPET and Cognitive Tests of Healthy Individuals, Treated With 60 Treatment of HBOT

Retrospective Analysis of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests and Cognitive Tests of Healthy Individuals Age 18+ Years, Treated at the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research With 60 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatments.

This retrospective observational study evaluates physiological and cognitive changes following a series of 60 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions in healthy individuals. Participants underwent treatment five days per week, each session included 90 minutes exposure to 100% oxygen at 2ATA with a five-minute air break every 20 minutes. Pre- and post-treatment data include cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and standardized cognitive assessments. The study aims to characterize associations between changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and cognitive performance following repeated HBOT exposure in a real-world clinical cohort

This retrospective observational study analyzes data collected from healthy adults who completed a full treatment series of 60 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions at the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research. Each session included 90 minutes exposure to 100% oxygen at 2ATA with a five-minute air break every 20 minutes

The primary objective is to evaluate physiological adaptations to repeated HBOT exposure using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) metrics, including aerobic capacity and exercise performance parameters. A secondary objective is to examine concurrent changes in cognitive function as assessed by standardized neurocognitive testing performed as part of routine clinical evaluation.

The study utilizes de-identified data extracted from clinical records and institutional databases. As a retrospective analysis, no intervention or allocation was performed for research purposes. The study aims to explore potential relationships between changes in physical performance and cognitive outcomes following HBOT in in a real-world clinical cohort
