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.
No special preparation is needed to use a hyperbaric chamber other than educating patients about what to expect during treatment.

In a hyperbaric chamber (which can be a specialized room or enclosed space), the patient is exposed to pure oxygen under high pressure, which can aid in healing.

Recompression treatment is performed in a hyperbaric chamber
The hyperbaric chamber was invented by French physician and physiologist Paul Bert in the 19th century. He recognized the benefits of increased oxygen under pressure for treating various medical conditions.
Using wax on hyperbaric chamber floors is generally not recommended. Wax can create a slippery surface, posing safety hazards for patients and staff. Additionally, the buildup of wax may interfere with the chamber's materials and maintenance requirements. It's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for appropriate flooring treatment options in a hyperbaric environment.
We will find out in several weeks as our 26 yr old son is about to undergo chamber treatment to see what impact hyperbaric treatment will have on dialysis and possible regeneration of kidney cells.
People who, for various reasons, have trouble breathing can get oxygen more easily in a hyperbaric (which is to say, high pressure) chamber. There are also a number of diseases for which an excess supply of oxygen may be helpful.
The patient enters the chamber, then it is closed and the pressure is increased. The advantages of a monoplace chamber are that the patient does not have to wear a mask or a hood to receive the oxygen and.
