Hyperbaric treatment protocols

Hyperbaric treatment protocols involve the patient breathing pure oxygen in a specially designed chamber at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This process enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing and fighting infections. Treatments typically last about 60 to 120 minutes and can range from a few sessions to several weeks, depending on the condition being treated. Common uses include aiding recovery from decompression sickness, serious infections, and wounds that won’t heal. The therapy is generally safe but should be conducted under medical supervision to manage any potential side effects or contraindications.
