For your
comfort and safety, please: Provide a complete list of all your
current medications, including those which are available without
a prescription.
Hyperbaric
oxygen therapy will interact with many medications. We require
a complete list of all medications that you are taking so that
we may review it with your physicians.
Notify
the Hyperbaric treatment center staff if you have symptoms of
a cold or flu.
Often it is best to delay treatment until these symptoms subside.
Remove
the following immediately before entering the chamber:
Dentures, or partial plates, all jewelry and other personal items.
You will be given special cotton garments to wear.
Please:
Do not bring
flammable substances. Pure oxygen is highly flammable. No
cigarettes, matches, cigarette lighters or other flammable substances
may be brought inside the chamber.
Do not
use any tobacco products. Hyperbaric oxygen is not effective
in smokers and can even be counterproductive because of the side
effects of nicotine.
Do not
use oil or alcohol based grooming products before entering the
chamber. Hair spray, makeup, perfume and after shave should
not be worn.
Do not
bring any valuable items with you. Although lockers are available
for clothing and other items, we recommend that you leave valuables
at home.
