What is the protocol for hyperbaric treatment?
A. The treatment protocol is established by the medical director of the hyperbaric program in consultation with the patient’s referring physician. The patient remains under the care of their primary physician throughout the course of treatment. Acute conditions may require a treatment period of ten days or less, while chronic conditions may require therapy over a few months. Although treatment schedules will vary, most treatments will be administered during two hour sessions, once or twice a day, several times a week. HBOT therapy is generally administered on an outpatient basis.
