How Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefit the Bloodless Patient?
Dr. Lega is a Pulmonologist and Critical Care Specialist at Allegheny General Hospital. Walking into the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit at Allegheny General Hospital I observe a large room with two clear acrylic cylinder-shaped enclosures. Staff including Critical Care physicians, nurses and respiratory-therapists attend to the patients. One patient is watching TV through the clear chamber while receiving his treatment. Between four and eight persons are treated daily in these chambers.
