Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Emergency Protocols

HBOT is generally a safe procedure. At Hyperbaric Healing Treatment Center, patient safety is our main concern. Our patients are continuously monitored by experienced staff while going through treatment. There are minimal risks at the depths and duration we treat our patients. During your New Patient Orientation, our Safety Director will go over all questions or concerns you may have about treatment. Because of the increased oxygen concentration and increased atmospheric pressure, certain safety measures are needed. You will be reminded before each hyperbaric treatment not to bring anything that could be dangerous in the increased oxygen environments. Items such as matches, patches, lighters, hearing aids, watches, petroleum, or alcohol-based dressings and electronic devices are not permitted in the hyperbaric chamber. If an item is not on our approved list, has been given to you by us, or approved by the Safety Director, then it is not allowed in the hyperbaric chamber.
