Safety and HBO Therapy

  • Chapter
Handbook on Hyperbaric Medicine

Abstract

Multiplace HBO chambers (MHCs) [1] are Pieces of apparatus that allow gas mixtures to be administered at pressures above normal atmospheric pressure [1, 2]. A hyperbaric chamber is considered as a piece of pressurized equipment and is therefore controlled by precise manufacturing regulations [1–6]. Medical demands require spacious and comfortable construction of MHCs as well as their being well climatized, soundproofed and having easy access. They must also be complete from the fabrication, installation and ambiental design point of view.
