Per this article, and as we have reported, there have been a number of deaths and fires due to hyperbaric chambers.
Given that hyperbaric chambers can catch fire and explode, knowing how to maintain the equipment, knowing how to manage the electricity to the equipment, and following a scheduled maintenance program that ensures the maintenance and safety of the equipment is critical.
Many owners of hyperbaric chambers are not trained in the maintenance of them, nor do they adhere to a recognized maintenance program.
As we reported in a recent post, the FDA is now warning of fire risks associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Remember, there is a better option than crawling into a pressurized hyperbaric chamber.
- Safer – No pressurized oxygen; no enclosed tube;
- Cleaner – No mold/bacteria build up inside a tube because there is no tube;
- Cheaper – Typically less than 10% of the cost of hyperbaric chamber therapy;
- Faster – Normally, to see results, your time investment is less than 20% of hyperbaric chamber therapy;
- Better – Studies show contrast oxygen results beat hyperbaric chamber results.
If you care about safety, cost, time and results, there is no reason to crawl inside a pressurized tube for performance enhancement, prevention or recovery.
