Hyperbaric chambers are used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including:

  1. Decompression sickness: A condition that occurs when divers ascend too quickly and nitrogen bubbles form in the bloodstream.

  2. Carbon monoxide poisoning: A condition that occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled, which can lead to oxygen deprivation.

  3. Wound healing: Hyperbaric chamber can improve healing in patients with certain types of wounds, such as those caused by radiation therapy.

  4. Infections: Hyperbaric chambers can help treat infections, particularly those caused by bacteria that are sensitive to oxygen.

  5. Bone and tissue damage: Hyperbaric chambers can help reduce swelling and promote healing in patients with bone and tissue damage.
