Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pathological conditions that are related to a low level of oxygen are treated with the administration of 100% oxygen at an increased pressure. This kind of therapeutic treatment is known as hyperbaric medicine. The patients are subjected to a hyperbaric chamber, which helps in increasing the level of oxygen in the body tissues.
