Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (or hyperbaric oxygen treatment) is the administration
of medical oxygen at pressures larger than atmospheric pressure.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a modern and recognized medical practice with
excellent results in terms of both patients’ health and quality of their life and has
been applied for decades.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is performed in special chambers (hyperbaric oxygen
chambers or hyperbaric oxygen treatment chambers), inside which the pressure
is increased by the use of compressed air, while the oxygen is administered to the
patients through a half-face mask.
Divers’ Decompression / Transport Chambers
Each year millions of leisure, professional and military purposes scuba dives are
performed.
A cornerstone for scuba diving – regardless of the diving purpose – is the provision
of health safety for the divers via decompression / transport chambers in order to
be possible to decompress the wounded diver on the spot or to directly and safely
transfer him to a structure with a bigger HyperBaric Oxygen (HBO) chamber for
full medical care provision.
