I don’t know anything about the laser part but I just read an article
in the news about the 1st hyperbaric oxygen treatment chamber to be
had in a Rhode Island (USA, smallest state) hospital. The article spoke
of its uses for (a) ‘the bends’ (traditional use for hyperbaric O2
chambers), (b) severe burns, (c) diabetic and other chronic non-healing
wounds, (d) crushing injuries, (e) others I can’t recall? I specifically
remember the diabetes connection mentioned in the article. The
high-pressure oxygen treatment forces the tissue to take oxygen even
though the blood supply is compromised (due to gangrene, burns, crushing,
‘the bends’, etc). The laser part is new to me. Interesting.
