A member asked:
Hbo therapy- have a risk of blood clotting because of pressure(i.e like a plane)?or is that negated by the 100% oxygen?even tho oxygen vasiconstricts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clots: blood clot risk on planes is not about pressure but is due to lack of walking or using leg muscles for a long time period. The sort of blood clots you are thinking of are in veins typically the legs and oxygen doesn't play much role in that.
