Hyperbaric oxygen therapy requires a pressure environment to provide equipment - hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
To pressurized media, medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber has two kinds:
1, pure oxygen chamber: pressurized with pure oxygen, after stabilizing the pressure, the patient breathes the oxygen directly in the chamber. Advantages: small size, low price, easy to transport, very popular with small and medium-sized hospitals. Disadvantages: pressurized medium for oxygen, very easy to cause a fire, chemical fiber fabrics can not enter the cabin, into the cabin personnel must be wearing cotton clothing into the cabin, domestic and foreign oxygen cabin combustion accidents occurred in the type of cabin; a treatment more than allows a patient into the cabin treatment, some patients can be claustrophobic; medical staff can not enter the cabin, once the cabin has a situation, it is difficult to deal with in a timely manner, is not conducive to critical and unstable condition The patient's treatment.
2, air-pressurized cabin: pressurized with air, stabilized pressure, according to the condition of the patient through the mask, oxygen tent, until artificial respiration oxygen. Advantages: safety; larger volume, once can accommodate more than one patient into the cabin treatment, the treatment environment is more relaxed; allow medical personnel into the cabin, conducive to the treatment of critically ill and unstable patients; such as the need to implement surgery in the cabin. Disadvantages: large volume, transportation inconvenience, expensive.
3, hyperbaric oxygen therapy equipment in addition to hyperbaric oxygen chamber, there are air compressors to produce compressed air, storage tanks to reserve compressed air, air-conditioning systems, monitoring equipment, intercom equipment, console and so on.
