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.

What is the purpose a hyperbaric chamber?
Hyperbaric chambers are used to deliver hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT was developed to treat underwater divers suffering from decompression sickness (the bends). It has since been approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric.
What line of medicine is using hyperbaric chamber therapy?
Hyperbaric chamber therapy is used to to treat those with injuries. It is used as a form of cancer therapy. It has been used to treat sports players to enable them to heal faster and has also been used on animals like expensive race horses.
How do you treat decompression sickness?
By re-compression in a hyperbaric chamber with set periods of breathing 100% oxygen- the treatment plans are called 'Tables' and there are about 4 tables that are used to treat DCS.
Has hyperbaric oxygen therapy been used to treat crps?

What are the main advantages of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is still not a widely used treatment although there are claims that it has some great benefits. The process involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room and it often used to treat decompression that is experienced by scuba divers. The oxygen stimulates stem cells and growth factors which promotes healing in general.
What are the gases used in a hyperbaric welding chamber?
helium and argon
What risks exist for the patient in undergoing a hyperbaric chamber?
Hyperbaric chambers, because of their use of 100% oxygen, present a potential fire risk. In addition, although hyperbaric oxygen therapy is very safe when used correctly, complications can occur. Oxygen poisoning.
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"
Hyperbolic oxygen therapy benefits what conditions?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat the following conditions: gas gangrene; decompression sickness; air embolism; smoke inhalation; carbon monoxide poisoning; cerebral hypoxic event.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy good for subdural hematoma?
Not really. A subdural hematoma is just a bruise, so it typically goes away on its own. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for more complicated medical issues.
Where can one find information regarding hyperbaric medicine?
Information on hyperbaric medicine can be found at many sites on the web currently. Among the most common sites are Penn Medicine, Hyperbaric Link, and UHMS.
