Clinical Hyperbaric Medicine

Clinical Hyperbaric Medicine is a medical specialty that uses high-pressure environments to treat various health conditions. Patients breathe pure oxygen while inside a hyperbaric chamber, which increases oxygen levels in the blood and promotes healing. This treatment is effective for conditions such as decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain wounds. Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine encompasses both the clinical and research aspects, addressing how pressure affects the body, particularly in diving and other environments. Ultimately, it aims to enhance recovery, improve health outcomes, and support safe practices for divers and others exposed to high-pressure environments.
