Hyperbaric chamber
A hyperbaric chamber is a specialized, sealed environment where air pressure is increased above normal levels. People enter these chambers to breathe pure oxygen, which can help treat various medical conditions, such as decompression sickness (common in divers), carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain infections. The higher pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively in the bloodstream, promoting healing and recovery. Hyperbaric therapy is administered under medical supervision and is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for specific health issues.
