Underwater & Hyperbaric Medicine,
Badalveda Center operates the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in full range services with 24 hour on-call diving physician available. HBOT is a treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen intermittently while inside a treatment chamber at a pressure higher than sea level pressure (1 atmosphere absolute). In addition, HBOT is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a hazard of scuba diving.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is worldwide accepted for decompression illness for more than 50 years and is currently approved for using in many emergent and non-emergent indications as primary or adjunctive treatments such as iatrogenic arterial gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning, severe crush injury, clostridia gas gangrene, necrotizing soft tissue infection, thermal burns, brain abscess, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, problem wounds from diabetes and late effect of radiation tissue injuries.
Benefits of HBOT
Diving Medicine Center is open daily from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm.
