2. Hyperbaric medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_medicine

   Hyperbaric medicine includes hyperbaric oxygen treatment, which is the medical use of oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure to increase the availability of oxygen in the body; [8] and therapeutic recompression, which involves increasing the ambient pressure on a person, usually a diver, to treat decompression sickness or an air embolism by reducing the volume and more rapidly eliminating ...

3. Decompression sickness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness

   Recompression and hyperbaric oxygen administered in a recompression chamber is recognised as the definitive treatment for DCI, but when there is no readily available access to a suitable hyperbaric chamber, and if symptoms are significant or progressing, in-water recompression (IWR) with oxygen is a medically recognised option where a group of ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_evacuation_and...

   This requires a portable life support system connected to the chamber during transit. Types of hyperbaric evacuation units include: A self-propelled hyperbaric lifeboat (SPHL) is an enclosed, motorised, survival vessel fitted with a hyperbaric chamber to transport divers under pressure, with a life support system and a crew to operate it. The ...

5. Decompression practice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_practice

   Decompression in the context of diving derives from the reduction in ambient pressure experienced by the diver during the ascent at the end of a dive or hyperbaric exposure and refers to both the reduction in pressure and the process of allowing dissolved inert gases to be eliminated from the tissues during this reduction in pressure.

   During a nine-day stay, he spent eight hours a day in a hyperbaric chamber so oxygen could help speed up the recovery process. Leno’s doctor told NBC News the comedian had burns on ...

7. Hyperbaric treatment schedules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_treatment_schedules

   Monitoring the decompression chamber during a simulated medical emergency. Hyperbaric treatment schedules or hyperbaric treatment tables, are planned sequences of events in chronological order for hyperbaric pressure exposures specifying the pressure profile over time and the breathing gas to be used during specified periods, for medical treatment.
