Hyperbaric Facilities

Hyperbaric facilities are specialized medical centers equipped with chambers that allow patients to breathe pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressures. This treatment, known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is used to accelerate healing for certain conditions, such as decompression sickness in divers, carbon monoxide poisoning, and chronic wounds. The increased pressure helps oxygen dissolve in blood plasma, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, which can promote faster recovery and reduce inflammation. These facilities are staffed by trained professionals and are designed to ensure safety and effectiveness during treatment.
