Hyperbaric medicine provides the body's tissues with increased amounts of oxygen which speeds the healing process.

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is administered in an air-filled multiplace (multiple patient) chamber in which patients breathe 100 percent oxygen at greater than one atmosphere of pressure using a mask or hood.

UMC's Hyperbaric Chamber can accommodate up to 12 patients at a time. Patients are able to move about the chamber and are encouraged to bring books or magazines. Treatments generally last about two hours.
