Application of Hypo and Hyperbaric Chamber in Czech Air Force
Abstract
The paper provides an overview about using of hypo and hyperbaric chambers at IAM Prague and about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) indications. Otoscopy and impedance tympanometry are pursued routinely on the instant before all expositions. The pilot's status is monitored by method of pulse oxymetry during all hypoxic tests and demonstrations. The %SpO2 monitoring provides the most valid longitudinal information about clinical status of examined pilots during hypoxia load. The therapy benefit during HBO is evaluated using transcutaneous oxymetry (%PtcO2) in the case of peripheral defects of tissue. It is necessary to achieve %PtcO2 values about 350 - 400 mmHg for successful therapy of tissue defects of extremities.
