8-721.1:
Administration of oxygen: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBT): Treatment lasting up to 145 minutes with monitoring in intensive care unit
As part of a special treatment you breathed in pure oxygen.
The treatment aims to enrich the body with more oxygen than usual. You were in a special room for this treatment. The pressure in the room was greater than the normal air pressure.
The air in a room like this usually contains a large amount of oxygen. But sometimes, too, the person breathes in the oxygen through a special device. When we breathe in, oxygen enters the lungs and accumulates in the blood. All of the organs are supplied with oxygen as a result.
During the treatment a special device monitored you. This usually involves monitoring the heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing, for example.
