Medical hyperbaric facilities

Medical hyperbaric facilities provide specialized environments where patients can breathe pure oxygen at pressures greater than sea level. This treatment, known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing and combating infections. It's commonly used for conditions like decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain chronic wounds. Patients typically sit in a pressurized chamber, where the increased oxygen levels support recovery and can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy is supervised by trained professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
