INSIDE
HYBERBARIC CHAMBER

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, the unit provides Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy (HBO) for diving emergencies, carbon monoxide
poisoning and elective treatment of certain wounds and infections.
A common emergency treated at the unit is decompression sickness
(the bends). Recompression
in a chamber is the definitive therapy and should be commenced
as soon as possible.
This website is intended to promote the unit and to raise
awareness of HBO. Information is available to the general
public, patients, divers and healthcare professionals.
