Abstract:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a life-saving form of treatment for certain acute medical conditions, e.g. cerebral gas embolism, clostridial infections, and smoke/carbon monoxide inhalation. It has long been used for treating decompression illness in divers. As from 1994 our hospital has been delegated the national responsibility for hyperbaric medicine in Norway. This paper describes the physiological basis, indications, and contraindications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and summarises hyperbaric oxygen treatment in Bergen over the last two years.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
