Severe Acute Anemia (Bridge Therapy)

is a lack of blood, specifically red blood cells. The deficiency of red blood cells and hemoglobin reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, causing pallor, fatigue, weakness, or shock. Causes of anemia include excessive blood loss from internal bleeding or trauma, destruction of red blood cells by disease, or abnormal production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be used to treat severe acute anemia.  HBOT is used as a bridge therapy in this case until life-threatening acute anemia can be resolved by helping to push oxygen through to vital organs
