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.
The use of high-pressure chambers to control disease processes is known as?
Hyperbaric
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.

My father had a heart attack and was revived he is now on a ventilator. His doctors did a hyperbaric conversion do patients really live after this procedure
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy good for subdural hematoma?

thats too obvious the media.Michael though, loves controversy, so he decided to get back at the media and made up a rumor saying that he slept in hyperbaric chamber to reduce the signs of aging and he released a photo with it.

REST IN PEACE MJ! I love you.-Hyperbaric Chambers, while they used to be used for the purpose the above contributor said, they are also used on children with autism, apraxia, and other mental functions. In no way are they used to harm kids, or other people, for that matter. Hyperbaric chambers make such a difference in children with the above functions.
How useful are hyperbaric oxygen chambers in treating Asperger's Syndrome or autism?
A randomized, controlled, double-blind study showed "significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness" in children with autism in the treatment group compared to those in the non-treatment group. Previous studies were not controlled, so their results were in doubt. This study was reported in 2009, so there might be only a limited amount of research available at this time on hyperbaric oxygen chambers for treatment of autism.
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.
Can you get rid of all carbon monoxide poison using a barometric pressure chamber?
Yes you can. Hyperbaric chambers, are chambers that give you the rich oxygen you need in order to replace the carbon monoxide, and it's done in 3 times the regular atmospheric pressure in order to speed up the process from an hour and a half to half an hour.
Did gas chambers really exist?
