Why is a 5 yr old in this treatment to begin with.

As a submariner… Hyperbaric is for decompression… and why is 5 yr old being treated for this to begin with?
Yes, It could have other treatments…

Just where my brain goes automatically…

THis is just not adding up with the basic info provided.

I thought I remembered smoke inhalation also being a reason for going in one.

It's used for a lot of stuff, the pure O2 environment helps reduce scar tissue, healing of venomous bites/tissue necrosis... I sometimes transported patients to hyperbaric treatment in Beverly Hills from Cedars Sinai. They also treated patients that got boob jobs to reduce scar tissue. One day a hot ass boob job patient came out of the changing room and our patient went in to change, Kenny (guy that ran the chambers) told her absolutely no metal in the chamber as it could cause a static electricity discharge, she opened her gown, threw her leg up on a chair and removed her clit piercing😎

I did 42 hours of HBO in 1-hour increments. There was a small child that suffered a near drowning that was also going through treatments. hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for a lot of medical conditions.

It's been used for treatments of various COVID and vax related stuff the past few years, and even some arthritis treatments.

I feel for the mom. I cannot imagine watching your child die like that...like a horror movie.

20 years ago i had a friend that was a diver and transitioned into hyperbaric medicine as a chamber operator. It is used for wound care and other issues where higher pressures and oxygen concentration accelerates healing.

I was a burn victim with skin graphs, I had more than one hyperbaric treatment, it promotes healing.

Oh and the debriding was a good time also. Grossman burn center Sherman Oaks, (Richard Grossman)

I don't want to even imagine debriding of burns :oops: When I had my wreck, a couple weeks in the ENT shows up, to fix my right ear. The top had been kind of torn off. Well, since it had been awhile, they had to do something called "debreeding". I'd never heard of it before...
Mother F'r! I think they use the scuff wheel for patching tires.

As a submariner…
The only hyperbaric chamber in or near San Diego..

Was on the Sub Base in Pt Loma.

As the only mfkr who understand that crap…. It was my side job to make sure it was operational … I was a ET… Electronics Tech…who is not trained what so ever in pressures or hyperbaric chambers….

But I inherited it… Literally had to learn them the hard way…. Success or failure.

So I know hyperbaric chambers inside out/backwards/forwards.
I saved alot of lifes in a 2 year period….

Not saying I am an expert on why peeps need it…. But I know how to make them them work….

I use to know how to make them work….
forgot that crap 15 years ago

Mine was neck and face, (second and third degree) they used cadaver skin that they run through an expander so it looks like expanded metal, so I was fortunate enough not to have to go through harvesting my own skin (Lucky me).

I was put under once, but the second time it was a huge dose of morphine and IDK what else, I'm sure they torture prisoners with less :p.

Good times.

That had to be horrible, of all the things I thought about, having the chamber blowing up was not one of them, It was actually a quiet place.

… Friend of mine was badly burned in an MGM studio fire in the 70s… spent a very long time at the Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks… late 70s… his many many hours in their hyperbaric chamber also helped a leg wound stop oozing that he had received in the Vietnam War…
…A female friend of mine Betsy Blair… worked there for quite a few years…
