While the patient is in the hyperbaric chamber, he or she is exposed to 100% oxygen (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 2014). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen the blood can carry which helps promote healing and fights infection (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

The group mentioned several coma interventions such as pharmacologic interventions, sensory stimulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and deep brain stimulation. The interesting one to me was deep brain stimulation. This “treatment” sends electrical impulses throughout the patient’s brain to control and cause movement. It was interesting to note that none of these
