Botulin bacteria spores are not able to survive in an oxygen rich environment. That is why they thrive in sealed canned food--no oxygen. Although tetanus (which is what I think you meant) is similar to botulism they are not the same bacteria. Tetanus actually thrives quite well in a highly oxygenated environment. Thus the probability of becoming infected by tetanus from rusty metal--the metal has been in an environment where the oxidative stress on the ferrous metal has caused rust. It is the same process that turns fruit brown when exposed to air.

Not really. A subdural hematoma is just a bruise, so it typically goes away on its own. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for more complicated medical issues.
How does the use of a hyperbaric chamber speed up the elimination of CO from the body?

What line of medicine is using hyperbaric chamber therapy?
Hyperbaric chamber therapy is used to to treat those with injuries. It is used as a form of cancer therapy. It has been used to treat sports players to enable them to heal faster and has also been used on animals like expensive race horses.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy available in Philippines?
Yes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is available in the Philippines. Several hospitals and medical centers in major cities offer this treatment for various medical conditions such as wound healing, decompression sickness, and acute carbon monoxide poisoning. It is important to consult a medical professional to determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy is suitable for your condition.
What term involves breathing pure oxygen in special chamber that allows air pressure to be raised up to three times higher than normal to promote healing and fighting infection?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBOT.
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.
If your doctor tells you it is time for some hyperbaric therapy what can you look forward to?
Breathing pure oxygen in a tent
What are the main advantages of hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is still not a widely used treatment although there are claims that it has some great benefits. The process involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room and it often used to treat decompression that is experienced by scuba divers. The oxygen stimulates stem cells and growth factors which promotes healing in general.
What does the medical abbreviation HOT mean?
HOT has several meanings in the medical world. One meaning is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Another meaning of HOT is Home Oxygen Therapy.
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.
