Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about normobaric oxygen therapy? Whether you’re curious about the technical aspects, safety measures, operational details, maintenance requirements, or warranty coverage, you’ll likely find the answers in our Frequently Asked Questions section below. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly for further assistance.
What is a normobaric chamber?
A normobaric chamber is an enclosed space where the ambient pressure can be controlled. During the treatment, the patient breathes in 100% oxygen, leading to increased oxygen levels in the blood and tissues.
For whom is normobaric oxygen therapy suitable?
Normobaric oxygen therapy can be beneficial for individuals with various medical conditions, such as poorly healing wounds, circulatory issues, and specific infections. It can also be utilised to enhance athletic performance and aid in recovery.
Is a normobaric chamber safe?
Yes, normobaric chambers are generally safe and are carefully monitored by medical professionals.
How does a normobaric chamber differ from other oxygen therapies?
Unlike hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where the ambient pressure is increased, the pressure in a normobaric chamber remains at sea level. This makes the treatment safer and more comfortable.
How long does a session in a normobaric chamber last?
A session in a normobaric chamber typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the treatment protocol.
How often should I undergo the therapy for optimal results?
The frequency of normobaric oxygen therapy can vary, but it’s often recommended multiple times per week for optimal results. However, this may vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated.
What can I expect during a normobaric oxygen therapy session?
During a session in a normobaric chamber, you will breathe in pure oxygen while comfortably lying down or sitting. You can relax, read, or listen to music.
Do I need to wear special clothing during the therapy?
Generally, you don’t need to wear special clothing during normobaric oxygen therapy. Comfortable attire is usually sufficient. It’s important not to wear flammable materials, however, as pure oxygen increases the risk of fire.
When not to use the chamber?
The decision to use normobaric oxygen therapy should always be based on an individual’s medical history and the assessment of a physician. Patients must inform their doctor of any medical conditions or concerns before starting oxygen therapy to ensure the treatment is performed safely and effectively. Avoid the use of normobaric oxygen therapy in the following cases:
- Bullae or lung bubbles: Patients with lung bubbles or bullae might find their size increased by normobaric oxygen therapy, leading to pneumothorax (collapsed lung).
- Recent ear or sinus surgeries: This therapy can increase the risk of air embolism in patients who have recently undergone ear or sinus surgeries.
- Uncontrolled pneumothorax: Use of oxygen therapy in the presence of uncontrolled pneumothorax can worsen the situation.
- Certain lung diseases, such as pneumothorax.
- High oxygen concentrations: For some conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), excessive oxygen can suppress the respiratory drive, resulting in respiratory depression. Hence, the right oxygen concentration is crucial.
- Claustrophobia: Individuals with severe claustrophobia might find it challenging to use oxygen masks, which could be relevant for specific forms of oxygen therapy.
- During the recovery period after chest surgery.
- Pregnancy.
- Bleeding.
- Fever.
What are the rules when using the chamber?
- Before entering the chamber, read the health contra-indications and sign an appropriate declaration.
- During cooler periods, enter the chamber after leaving your outer clothing in the cloakroom.
- Due to the passage dimensions, access to the lock is individually regulated.
- Once seated, we aim to restrict movement within the chamber, except for the necessity to use the restroom.
- Continuous communication with an attendant is possible through an intercom system.
- If using Red-Ox water, dispose of the cup in the bin before leaving.
- You can connect to the internet but are requested to use your phone and laptop without disturbing others. There’s a SILENCE ZONE in the chamber.
- Refrain from using perfume or strongly scented cosmetics before attending the scheduled chamber session.
- Bringing food or consuming alcohol in the chamber is not permitted.
- Individuals under the influence of alcohol are prohibited from using the chamber.
- If you feel unwell during the screening, please immediately inform the attendant.
What’s the difference between a normobaric and hyperbaric chamber?
The difference between a normobaric and a hyperbaric chamber lies in the pressure levels and the duration of stays. In a normobaric chamber, you can sit for much longer periods. In contrast, hyperbaric chambers operate at much higher pressures.
A hyperbaric chamber is a space where the human body can oxygenate. It typically takes the form of a cylinder, designed for use by one or more individuals, where pure oxygen is delivered at an increased pressure of up to 3500 hPa. These chambers lack an airlock, requiring the pressure to be adjusted each time a person enters or exits.
Hyperbaric chambers are primarily used in scenarios such as:
- Diving accidents
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Gas embolism (air bubble in the bloodstream)
- Severe crush injuries
For whom is a normobaric chamber interesting?
- For people looking to invest in their health in the long term
- For individuals seeking assurance regarding comfort and privacy
- For those who value reliable quality products
- For those interested in using the latest developments in science and technology
- For entrepreneurs seeking opportunities to diversify their offerings
- For entrepreneurs interested in providing services conducive to recreation and recovery
- For entrepreneurs looking to operate in a new market with enormous growth potential
- For entrepreneurs intending to achieve investment opportunities that ensure high returns
