Does gas solubility increase decrease or remain the same if a person is placed in the hyperbaric chamber?
The gas solubility in blood increase in a hyperbaric room.
What treatment exists for patients with a gas embolism?
Prompt recompression treatment in a hyperbaric (high-pressure) chamber is necessary to deflate the gas bubbles in the bloodstream, dissolve the gases into the blood, and restore adequate oxygenated blood flow to the brain and.
What is involved in hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
This treatment involves placing the patient in a chamber breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of more than one atmosphere (the normal pressure the atmosphere exerts at sea level). The increased pressure forces more oxygen into the blood.
How does a hyperbaric chamber work?
A hyperbaric chamber is a special chamber that they put divers into to help them cure something they can get from diving called "The Bends". When you put the diver in the chamber it increases the pressure surrounding the diver's body. The high pressure forces forces the gas bubbles to re-dissolve back into the blood and tissues. By very slowly decreasing the pressure back to normal, the gas in the persons body slowly escapes.
Why does hyperbaric oxygen therapy raise blood pressure?
Yes. Oxygen is considered a drug and can raise both blood preasure and heart rate.
Will a hyperbaric chamber help multiple sclerosis?
A hyperbaric chamber is a small vessel which can be used as a diving chamber, or can be used on land to increase air pressure. It can be used to medically treat divers who were surfaced too quickly by re-pressurizing them to force the nitrogen in their blood to return to solution. Following this, they are decompressed slowly, which keeps the nitrogen in the blood in solution. Hyperbaric chambers can also be used in a medical technique known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This therapy has been shown to positively affect cerebral palsey, athough the mechanism is still as of yet undetermined. Some early experiments with Multiple Sclerosis patients showed that HBOT may help improve bowel and bladder control. However, a review by the Cochrane Collaboration discovered, after ten trials and 21 analyses, that there was "no consistent evidence to confirm a beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and [they] do not believe routine use is justified"

What is hyperbaric oxgenation and what is it used to treat?
Hyperbaric oxygenation means 'hyper', high, 'baric', pressure so it means high pressure oxygenation. It can be used for patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which there is poor wound healing. It is found out that oxygen can help with wound healing so for people who have diabetes mellitus and have wounds that needs to be healed, hyperbaric oxygenation can be used.
