PY - 2020 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a medical intervention in which a patient breathes continuous or intermittent 100% oxygen while inside a hyperbaric chamber that is pressurized to an ambient pressure greater than sea level.1 HBO therapy results in the systemic delivery of oxygen that produces supraphysiologic oxygen tension in perfused tissues. The effects of HBO therapy are due to the combined effects of both increased ambient pressure and increased oxygen tension.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1166527696 ER -
