A hyperbaric chamber is a medical contraption made of a sealed and pressurized chamber that’s purposefully designed to increase the atmospheric pressure around a person. It’s most;y used in oxygen therapy.

This machine can help if you are in desperate need of oxygen when you are unable to obtain enough of it through other medical devices or on your own.

While inside the chamber, where the air pressure may be up to three times greater than outdoors, you are able to breathe in pure oxygen only.

And because of this high pressure, your lungs are able to take in more oxygen, which then circulates through the bloodstream and increases the amount of oxygen delivered to your body’s tissues and organs.

In this article, I’ll be looking at the main people allowed to operate a hyperbaric chamber, the type of training they need to be certified, the safety regulations for hyperbaric chambers and the associated limitations.

So read on to find out more if you’ve been curious to know more about these medical machines.
