University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Hyperbaric Medicine Program

The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Hyperbaric Medicine Program focuses on treating various medical conditions using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room. This process enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing and combating infections. The program serves patients with conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, wounds that won't heal, and decompression sickness from diving. It also conducts research and education in hyperbaric medicine, contributing to advancements in treatment protocols and understanding the effects of high-pressure oxygen on the body.
