It is used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene, and acute breathing difficulties. It is also used in some cases during heart surgery.Administration of oxygen under increased pressure while the patient is in an airtight chamber. Pressure chambers in which the oxygen is hyperbaric have been used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, anaerobic infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, crush injuries with acute ischemia of tissues, compromised skin grafts and flaps, mixed soft tissue reactions, burns, smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide poisoning, soft tissue radiation necrosis, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, decompression sickness (bends), and gas embolism.A specialized chamber is utilized to administer pure oxygen to the patient at a pressure level three times greater than that of the regular atmospheric pressure. This technique enables the patient to receive an increased supply of oxygen at an accelerated rate, facilitating the recovery from severe asphyxiation."}
