pressure chamber

A pressure chamber, often used in scientific and medical contexts, is a sealed environment where air pressure can be increased or decreased. This allows researchers or doctors to study effects of high pressure, such as treating decompression sickness in divers or facilitating wound healing. In a pressure chamber, oxygen levels can also be elevated, helping to deliver more oxygen to tissues. These chambers are equipped to maintain specific conditions and are valuable in fields like medicine, aerospace, and materials science to conduct experiments or treatments that require controlled atmospheric conditions.
