The facility,
which is a Life-Limb-Tissue Saving
treatment, is a part of SRMS Trust’s ₹7-crore Annual Medical Research
Grant, an initiative aimed at supporting life-saving therapies, research
into rare diseases, preventive healthcare and the adoption of advanced medical
technology for better patient outcomes.
In this regard,
Air Marshal (Retd) Dr MS Butola, Principal at SRMS IMS,
Bareilly reveals, “Unlike conventional oxygen supplementation, HBOT works by
placing patients inside a specially designed hyperbaric chamber where they
breathe 100% pure oxygen under higher-than-normal atmospheric (air) pressure.
The increased pressure enables the lungs to take in significantly more oxygen,
helping more oxygen reach tissues affected by injury, disease or compromised
blood flow and thereby supporting the body's natural healing process.”
Dr Butola
further adds, “A significant feature of the newly installed facility is
its multi-placed chamber, which can accommodate around five to six patients
at a time under supervised clinical care. This makes it possible for
multiple eligible patients to undergo the specialized therapy in a controlled
hospital environment. However, for patients and families, the availability of
such a facility in Bareilly could reduce the need to travel elsewhere for
specialized hyperbaric care. At the same time, HBOT is a specialized medical
treatment and its suitability depends on the patient's condition and clinical
assessment.”Watch the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECELnvFngFc
sWell, the launch of HBOT comes at a time when SRMS
IMS has been strengthening its position, year after year, through academic,
clinical and research achievements. In the 2026 rankings, SRMS IMS has been
placed 11th among the Top
Private Medical Colleges in India by Outlook, 38th among the Best Medical Colleges of India
(Government & Private) by India Today; and by The Week,
it ranked 4th among Top
Private Medical Colleges in the North Zone, 23rd among Top Private
Medical Colleges in India and 40th among Top Medical Colleges in
India, including government and private institutions.
The
institution has also recently added another significant milestone to its
advanced critical-care capabilities with the installation of an ECMO
(Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) facility (https://srms.ac.in/ims/ecmo-treatment-bareilly/), further strengthening its ability to support
patients requiring advanced life-support interventions. Also, for
nearly two decades, SRMS has been providing the region with advanced, high-end
healthcare facilities, from comprehensive cancer care, kidney and bone marrow
transplants, robotic surgeries and robotic knee replacement to laser surgeries,
interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, EPS and several other
specialized medical services, with continuous expansion of specialized
and technology-driven medical care.
Henceforth, with
these additions, SRMS IMS, Bareilly is steadily bringing advanced treatment
facilities that were traditionally available only at select centers in larger
cities, widening access to specialized care for patients across the region.
P.S. If HBOT has been recommended for you or someone you
know, consult a qualified specialist to understand whether it is appropriate
for the condition.
