European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM)

The European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) is an organization that focuses on promoting the safe and effective use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) across Europe. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to treat various medical conditions, such as decompression sickness and certain types of wounds. The ECHM provides guidelines, sets standards, and supports research to improve patient care. It also fosters collaboration among medical professionals in the field, ensuring that hyperbaric treatments are administered safely and based on the latest scientific evidence.
