Recompression therapy protocols

Recompression therapy, often used for treating decompression sickness or air embolisms, involves placing a patient in a pressurized chamber filled with pure oxygen. This therapy helps reduce gas bubbles in the body, alleviates symptoms, and promotes healing by improving oxygen delivery to tissues. The protocol typically includes multiple sessions at specific pressure levels, allowing controlled exposure to oxygen over time. Medical professionals monitor the patient closely during treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. This process can significantly aid recovery for individuals affected by conditions related to pressure changes, such as deep-sea divers or certain surgical complications.
