THE HYPERBARIC MEDICINE DIVISION
The Hyperbaric Medicine Division is under the supervision of physicians and physiologists, fellowship trained in hyperbaric medicine and operations. The Division is also staffed with experienced nurses and medical technicians fully trained in the medical and physical aspects of hyperbaric medicine, and cross-trained in critical care. In addition, aerospace physiology technicians trained in hyperbaric operations and medicine support daily patient treatments.
THE CHAMBER COMPLEX
Our large clinical chamber is capable of treating up to 10 patients per treatment. Our smaller chamber has the capacity to treat 2-3 additional patients. All chambers have elevator locks. Treatments are staffed by inside medical attendents and monitored by a physician and a physiologist via direct visualization, video, and audio communication links. For single patient treatments a monoplace chamber also exists as an option for hyperbaric therapy.
WOUND CARE
Our clinical Hyperbaric Medicine program has over 20 years experience in managing complicated non-healing wounds. Patients will receive daily "wound care center" evaluations. Our staff will make recommendations for ongoing wound care in order to maximally enhance the wound healing environment.
OUTPATIENT AND INPATIENT CARE
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be given on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on the patient's condition. Hyperbaric consultation is available on a 24-hour a day, 7-day a week basis.
CONSULTATION PROCEDURE
Patients are seen in consultation upon referral from their attending physician. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an adjunct to continuing medical and surgical care. Referred patients will remain under the primary care of their referring physician.
