U.S. Navy Hyperbaric Medicine

U.S. Navy Hyperbaric Medicine involves the use of controlled oxygen therapy in a pressurized environment to treat conditions like decompression sickness, wound healing, and infections. By increasing atmospheric pressure, more oxygen dissolves into the blood, promoting tissue repair and fighting bacteria. The Navy uses specialized chambers to safely administer this treatment, which is especially useful for divers and personnel exposed to extreme conditions. This approach enhances oxygen delivery to areas with poor blood flow, supporting recovery and improving health outcomes in various medical situations.
