[Hyperbaric oxygenation: characteristics of intensive care and emergency therapy].

摘要: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is a decisive component of comprehensive interdisciplinary intensive care therapy for numerous disorders, such as gas embolism, severe decompression illness or carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. However, barochambers with 24 h accessibility are often not readily available, thus, requiring an interhospital transport critically ill patients. In order to minimise additional risks, skilled transportation team should be involved. Furthermore, the specific physical and physiological features HBO require that personnel must trained adequately. Specific characteristics transfer patients described well adverse effects their therapy.
