Risks

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally a safe procedure, and complications are rare. But, as with any medical procedure, it does carry some risk.

Potential complications include:

• Temporary nearsightedness (myopia) caused by increased blood oxygen levels
• Middle ear and inner ear injuries, including leaking fluid and eardrum rupture, due to increased air pressure
• Organ damage caused by air pressure changes (barotrauma)
• Seizures as a result of too much oxygen (oxygen toxicity) in your central nervous system
