WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN TREATMENT?
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is a medical treatment that is applied to a patient who is completely pressurized in a pressure chamber by breathing 100% oxygen intermittently. The patient may receive oxygen from the mask, cap, medium or endotracheal tube, depending on the type of pressure chamber and the condition of the patient.
