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.
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.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
DefinitionHyperbaric oxygen therapy uses a special chamber, sometimes called a pressure chamber, to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.InformationSome, but not very many, hospitals have a hyperbaric chamber. Smaller units may be available in outpatient center.The air pressure inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is about two and a half times greater than the normal pressure in the atmosphere. This helps your blood carry more oxygen to organs and tissues in your body.Hyperbaric therapy can help wounds, especially infected wounds, heal more quickly. The therapy may be used to treat:Air or gas embolismBone infections (osteomyelitis) that have not improved with other treatmentsBurnsCarbon monoxide poisoningCertain types of brain or sinus infectionsDecompression sickness (for example, a diving injury)Gas gangreneNecrotizing soft tissue infectionsRadiation injury (for example, damage from radiation therapy for cancer)Skin graftsWounds that have not healed with other treatments (for example, it may be used to treat a foot ulcer in someone with diabetes or very bad circulation)Treatments for chronic conditions may be repeated over days or weeks. A treatment session for more acute conditions such as decompression sickness may be longer but not necessarily repeated.ReferencesBove AA, Neuman TS. Diving medicine.
