I am having to hyperbaric treatments for a wound of my left foot caused by the removal of my little toe 5 days a wk 2 hours a day… NOW I HAVE A SUPER DUMB QUESTION???? I have long hair and i am allowed to take a shower prior to the treatments, will my hair dry being in the chamber with 100% oxygen? i am not sure on this and was wondering ? thank you

how fast your hair dries is a function of HUMIDITY, not of oxygen content.

of COURSE your hair will dry in the chamber.

Hello,

I need some web sights for the above! its for school work, and curiosity.

thanks

I suggest you use a metasearch engine see below. This will categorizer esults to help you get the info you need.

More, less, at all???

It appears so.

I found a link to a Java Applet calculator that may help you. [I've not used it]

Try searching on barometric pressure and fire to get more info

I’m constantly in pain with arthritic condition in my legs and probably due to spinal stenosis of some sort. I already had a laminectomy of my c2-c3 vertebrae but still continue to have pain in both legs. My left leg also has two blood clots, one above and one below my knee. I am being treated with coumadin for the clots but the general pain goes through my entire legs. I’ve heard that hyperbaric chamber treatment will help me with this condition. If so, why haven’t the many doctors I’ve seen brought this up as an alternative treatment? Anyone that can help or point me in the right direction please respond. Thanks

The treatment of arthritis and blood clots is not an approved use of HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.)

This is the first I’ve heard of HBOT being suggested for use in arthritic pain, other than some folks believe it helps with the treatment of Lyme Disease (not for the symptoms of it, however.)

Everyone has a friend who has heard that HBOT is the miracle cure for "this or that," and the internet also helps to spread these rumors. From Lyme, to Cebrebral Palsey, to stroke… everyone is so desperate to find a positive treatment that they clutch to the hope that unscrupulous persons push at them.

There are HBOT clinics out there that will treat your hang nail with HBOT… or try to sell you a home-use chamber that is really ineffective. For the official word, check out the link I’ve listed as a source below. They are the society that sets the standards for HBOT.

i may have spelled it wrong but i heard it heals people faster because it amps up blood cells that make u have more endurance . but what does it do ?i have cerebral palsy and it was listed as treatment for my spasticity. (tight hamstrings and slightly shaky hands.)

HBOT is used for treatment in some special circumstances, but in most cases it’s still experimental and the benefits unproven. The theory is that by increasing O2 levels in the tissues, it inhibits the growth of certain bacteria that thrive in low O2 conditions.

There is some evidence that HBOT may also improve the activity of the living cells within the bone, aiding repair and bone healing. It may also encourage the formation of new blood vessels, improving the blood supply which also aides healing.

As I said before, there is little convincing evidence that HBOT is at all beneficial.

Scientific evidence discounts anything beneficial in using hyperbaric chambers to ‘cure cancer’. In other words . . it doesn’t work.

I personally wouldn’t recommend it.

I have been asked to design an enclosure for a projector that will be in a hyperbaric decompression chamber for prolonged periods of time. One of the design specifications is that it should be ‘helium-proof’

Just looking for some information on anything ‘helium proof’ such as materials, fixings etc etc as the world wide web seems to be lacking an awful lot of infomation on the subject.

Thanks in advance and regards

O rings are notoriously permeable to helium. You can use gold wire seals (between two flat flanges), "Conflat" copper seals, or indium wire seals (but these are a bit fragile). For electrical feed thrus, only vacuum brazed ceramic feedthrus or Kovar in glass will work (available from Varian). For mechanical feedthrus, use brass or stainless bellows. These are also available from Varian at a price.

and at 75F?

75 F – 32 = 1.8 Celsius
43 = 1.8 Celsius
temp = 23.9 Celsius ==== 297 Kelvin

300 cm Hg @ 1 atm / 76 cm Hg = 3.947 atm

find moles of oxygen
PV = nRT
(3.947 atm)(3000 litres) = n (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(297Kelvin)
n = 485.66 moles of oxygen

use molar mass to find mass of oxygen:
485.66 moles oxygen @ 32.00 g/mol =
your answer:
15,541 grams of oxygen

but if this is a 3 sigfig problem, we should round off to
15,500 grams of oxygen

oxygen i used at higher-than-normal pressures. how many grams of oxygen are required to fill a 3.00 x 10^3liter hyperbaric chamber at a pressure of 300 cm Hg and 75 degrees F?

75 degrees F – 32 = Celsius (1.8)
43 = Celsius (1.8)
temp Celsius = 23.89 C
plus 273 = 296.9 Kelvin

300 cm Hg @ 1 atm / 76.0 cm Hg = 3.947 atm

find moles of oxygen:
PV = n RT
(3.947 atm)( 3 e3 litres) = n (o.o821 L-atm/mol-K)(296.9 K)
n = 485.8 moles of O2

use molar mass to find grams:
485.8 molO2 @ 32.00 g/mol = 15,546 grams of O2

which likely should be rounded off to 15,500 grams of O2
