Hyperbaric medicine is an area of medicine that applies high pressure, high oxygen environments to the treatment of certain conditions. Known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), this type of treatment can be utilized in the management of medical issues such as compression sickness. Physicians who specialize in hyperbaric medicine can pursue certification through professional organizations that maintain high standards of quality and performance for their members.Hyperbaric medicine is also used in the treatment of gas embolisms in the blood. An embolism is a gas bubble that can become fatal to the patient if it ends up in the wrong place. Time in a hyperbaric chamber will force the bubble to break up and dissolve so that it can be expressed by the body. This treatment is also used in people with carbon monoxide poisoning and in the treatment of people with certain types of infections. HBOT can also be useful in the management of radiation sickness and rejection of skin grafts.
