Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology

The Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology specializes in using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to enhance healing. This treatment improves oxygen delivery to tissues, supporting recovery from injuries, infections, and other medical conditions. The center also studies how humans adapt to extreme environments, like high altitudes or underwater settings. Their work combines advanced medical treatment with research on environmental physiology, aiming to improve health outcomes and safety for patients and individuals exposed to challenging conditions.
