Development of the first hyperbaric chamber sketch called “Domicillium”.
It is a non-invasive medical treatment that increases the volume of dissolved oxygen in the blood plasma. The patient enters the hyperbaric chamber and through a mask breathes high concentrations of oxygen at a pressure higher than normal atmospheric.
Hyperoxia is a significant increase in the availability of oxygen in the blood plasma. It promotes cellular metabolism and allows oxygen to reach the brain, cartilage, bones, and tissues that, due to various circulatory disorders, do not receive it properly.
