What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy means breathing medical oxygen in a chamber at a pressure above normal atmospheric pressure. Its suitability depends on the condition being treated and requires an individual assessment.

Why are pressure and oxygen used together?

Pressure and oxygen concentration are part of the treatment protocol. The medical team selects the conditions appropriate to the indication.

Breathing oxygen under pressure increases its availability to the body. This physical effect does not, by itself, establish whether treatment will help a particular condition.

A protocol adapted to the clinical objective

At HMCE, pressure, duration and follow-up are considered as part of your assessment.

Questions for your assessment

What is the Treatment Like at the Center?

Ask the team about preparation, monitoring and the time to allow for your appointment.

1. Initial Assessment

The center's physician evaluates your clinical history, prescribing the chamber pressure (ATA) and the optimal number of sessions.

2. The Chamber Session

The session takes place in a transparent Perry monoplace chamber. Confirm the prescribed duration and the total appointment time with the team.

3. Instructions after the session

Follow the team’s instructions before resuming your activities, taking your underlying condition into account. Report any discomfort before leaving.
