Jacobi Medical Center uses a large, walk-in multiplace hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber that can comfortably treat nine adults at the same time. HOW DOES HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY WORK 100% Oxygen delivered at increased pressure produces an increase in the amount of oxygen being carried by blood. This results in more oxygen being delivered to the organs and tissues in the body. This improves the benefits of certain antibiotics, activates white blood cells to fight infection, and promotes the healing process in chronic wounds. > more on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment INDICATIONS FOR HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY TREATMENT Patients are accepted for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy after referral from their own Physician and consultation with a Hyperbaric Physician.
