Taichung Armed Forces General Hospital

The hospital established a hyperbaric oxygen care team in December 108, which can be suitable treatment procedures for patients. In addition, the latest PERRY single hyperbaric oxygen chamber has been introduced to greatly increase the space in the cabin, effectively reduce the pressure caused by the narrow space, and reduce physical and mental discomfort.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an intermittent, high-concentration and short-term oxygen respiration therapy. It uses high-concentration oxygen to replace toxic gases (such ascarbon monoxide) in the body to treat gas poisoning, rapidly increase the oxygenconcentration in the body and promote the formation of new blood vessels, makinghypoxia tissues are activated to help the healing of difficult wounds. In the absence of hypoxia, hyperbaric oxygen can constrict blood vessels and help reduce swelling from trauma or surgery and recover quickly.

This is a fairly new treatment.The single treatment time of hyperbaric oxygen is 60 to 90 minutes. The number oftreatments required varies according to the condition. The treatment items are quitewide, including diabetic foot, chronic ulcer wound, necrotizing soft tissue infection,scald, embolic stroke and brain Injury, gas embolism and other conditions.
