Baromedical Medicine

Baromedical Medicine is a specialized field that uses controlled hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat various medical conditions. It involves placing patients in a pressurized chamber where they breathe pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressures. This process boosts oxygen delivery throughout the body, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and combating certain infections. It’s used to treat conditions such as decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, chronic wounds, and radiation injuries. The therapy is carefully monitored by trained medical professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness, and it can significantly accelerate recovery for specific health issues.
