Who invented hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
The first person to design and arrange for the construction of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber in the United States is Dr Izaak F A van Elk. His research, and the first chamber built, was at Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, Illinois in the early 1960s. Dr van Elk is originally from the Netherlands. Dr van Elk, a cardiologist, designed and arranged for the construction of a hyperbaric oxygen tank to be built in the hopes that this would help cure patients suffering from a heart attack (coronary occlusion.) Dr van Elk and his team also tried it for patients suffering from a stroke and patients with dimentia. The results were not as effective as they had hoped, and they abandoned the hyperbaric oxygen research any further in the area of cardiology. Shortly thereafter, another physician in Wisconsin or Minneapolis followed up on Dr van Elk's research. This information can be verified by contacting Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois which still has a hyperbaric oxygen unit at their facility.
