Does gas solubility increase decrease or remain the same if a person is placed in the hyperbaric chamber?
When a person is placed in a hyperbaric chamber where the pressure is increased, gas solubility in the body tissues increases. This is because the higher pressure forces more gas (such as oxygen) to dissolve in the blood and tissues, which can be beneficial for medical treatments like oxygen therapy for conditions like decompression sickness.
What is hyperbaric oxgenation and what is it used to treat?
Hyperbaric oxygenation means 'hyper', high, 'baric', pressure so it means high pressure oxygenation. It can be used for patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which there is poor wound healing. It is found out that oxygen can help with wound healing so for people who have diabetes mellitus and have wounds that needs to be healed, hyperbaric oxygenation can be used.
What oxygen therapy are patients with severe CO poisoning given?
Patients with severe carbon monoxide poisoning are typically given hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This helps to rapidly reduce the levels of carbon monoxide in the blood and tissues, as well as promote the elimination of carbon monoxide from the body.
What is the antidote for carbon monoxide?
The most effective antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning is oxygen therapy. This involves breathing in pure oxygen to help remove the carbon monoxide from the body and restore oxygen levels in the blood. In severe cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be used to further increase oxygen levels in the blood.
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.

Will a hyperbaric chamber help multiple sclerosis?
A hyperbaric chamber is a small vessel which can be used as a diving chamber, or can be used on land to increase air pressure. It can be used to medically treat divers who were surfaced too quickly by re-pressurizing them to force the nitrogen in their blood to return to solution. Following this, they are decompressed slowly, which keeps the nitrogen in the blood in solution. Hyperbaric chambers can also be used in a medical technique known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This therapy has been shown to positively affect cerebral palsey, athough the mechanism is still as of yet undetermined. Some early experiments with Multiple Sclerosis patients showed that HBOT may help improve bowel and bladder control. However, a review by the Cochrane Collaboration discovered, after ten trials and 21 analyses, that there was "no consistent evidence to confirm a beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and [they] do not believe routine use is justified"
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.
Can you use the hyperbaric chamber if you have high blood pressure or heart disease?
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.
How do you can give oxygen to a patient?
There are two ways to give oxygen to a patient. You can deliver it through a face mask, connected to a tank of oxygen, or you can place the patient in a room which has its own pure oxygen atmosphere, often at high pressure as well. High pressure (technically called hyperbaric) oxygen will enter the blood even if the patient is not breathing.
How do therapy animals lower blood pressure?
If the blood pressure is elevated by psychological stress, the theraputic interaction with an animal can reduce the blood pressure by reducing the stress that causes it to be elevated.
Arterial blood tends to be what while venous blood is what?
Arterial blood is under direct pressure from the heart and is oxygen rich, which venous blood is oxygen poor and is under low pressure.
