2. Hyperbaric medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_medicine

   Hyperbaric medicine includes hyperbaric oxygen treatment, which is the medical use of oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure to increase the availability of oxygen in the body; [8] and therapeutic recompression, which involves increasing the ambient pressure on a person, usually a diver, to treat decompression sickness or an air embolism by reducing the volume and more rapidly eliminating ...

3. Decompression sickness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness

   One of the more frequently used treatment schedules is the US Navy Table 6, which provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy with a maximum pressure equivalent to 60 feet (18 m) of seawater (2.8 bar P O 2) for a total time under pressure of 288 minutes, of which 240 minutes are on oxygen and the balance are air breaks to minimise the possibility of ...

4. Hyperbaric treatment schedules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_treatment_schedules

   Hyperbaric treatment schedules or hyperbaric treatment tables, are planned sequences of events in chronological order for hyperbaric pressure exposures specifying the pressure profile over time and the breathing gas to be used during specified periods, for medical treatment. Hyperbaric therapy is based on exposure to pressures greater than ...

5. Uncontrolled decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression

   An uncontrolled decompression is an undesired drop in the pressure of a sealed system, such as a pressurised aircraft cabin or hyperbaric chamber, that typically results from human error, structural failure, or impact, causing the pressurised vessel to vent into its surroundings or fail to pressurize at all.

6. Diving chamber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_chamber

   A recompression chamber is a hyperbaric treatment chamber used to treat divers suffering from certain diving disorders such as decompression sickness. [11] Treatment is ordered by the treating physician (medical diving officer), and generally follows one of the standard hyperbaric treatment schedules such as the US Navy treatment Tables 5 or 6 ...
