HYPERBARIC VETERINARY MEDICINE: originators of small animal vet hyperbaric chamber

When a patient is in the hyperbaric chamber, the increased pressure causes the blood plasma, and other liquids of the body, to absorb much larger quantities of oxygen, greatly increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and all fluids of the body. This oxygen can then be utilized by the body for vital functions related to healing.
