Our hyperbaric chamber is a life saving state-of-the-art device for treating pressure imbalances, and is the only one a Samui Hospital.
Hyperbaric oxygen acts as a drug, eliciting varying levels of response at different dosages and has been proven effective as adjunctive therapy for specifically indicated conditions.
With the exception of decompression sickness and cerebral arterial gas embolism, treatments last approximately two hours. These treatments may be given once, twice or occasionally three times daily.
Treatment for the most acute cases is approximately 10 days, while chronic cases may require treatment for 30 days or more.
Treatments are administered on an outpatient basis when possible. While receiving therapy, the critically ill patient may be provided with mechanical ventilation, intravenous therapy and invasive and noninvasive physiologic monitoring.
