What Types of Oxygen Therapy are Used in Toxicology?
Various forms of oxygen therapy are employed depending on the severity of the condition:
- Normobaric Oxygen Therapy: This involves administering oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure and is commonly used for less severe cases. - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): This involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber. HBOT is particularly effective for severe carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness.
