Are there any special preparations for hyperbaric oxygen treatment?
For your safety in the environment of increased oxygen concentration and increased atmosphere there are certain requirements that must be followed. No personal garments are allowed inside the chamber. A 100% gown cotton will be provided for you by the hyperbaric staff. No unnecessary items will be permitted in the chamber. These include but are not limited to matches: lighters, hearing aides, watches, jewelry, books, magazines, hard contact lenses, make-up, hair spray, lotions, ointments or oil on the skin. It is highly recommended you stop smoking prior to the initiation of, and for the duration of HBO2 therapy. Smoking greatly reduces the effectiveness of treatments.
