Medical Assessment of Hyperbaric Patients

Medical assessment of hyperbaric patients involves evaluating a patient's overall health and specific conditions before, during, and after their hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This includes reviewing medical history, checking vital signs, and identifying any risk factors for complications like ear injuries, lung issues, or oxygen toxicity. During treatment, healthcare providers monitor for signs of adverse effects and assess the patient’s response. The goal is to ensure safety and effectiveness, adjusting treatment plans as needed. This thorough assessment helps prevent complications and promotes optimal recovery from conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
