Nursing staff are crucial for preparing patients for hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy and providing essential care. HBO treatment, utilized since 1986 in Cuba, effectively treats various conditions by increasing dissolved oxygen in plasma.

Area of Science:

Hyperbaric medicine
Nursing care
Therapeutic oxygenation

Context:

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been integrated into Cuba's health system since 1986.
HBO involves administering oxygen at increased ambient pressure within hyperbaric chambers.
This method enhances oxygen dissolution in plasma, facilitating treatment for diverse medical conditions.

Purpose:

To outline the role of nursing personnel in hyperbaric oxygenation therapy.
To highlight the applications and benefits of hyperbaric oxygenation in clinical practice.
To emphasize the importance of nursing support in patient preparation and care during HBO treatment.

Summary:

Nursing staff play a vital role in preparing patients for hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and providing comprehensive care, including psychological support.
