The work of nursing personnel with patients receiving treatment with hyperbaric oxygenation is intended mainly to prepare the patients and provide care and psychological support. Hyperbaric oxygenation as a therapeutic method was included in Cuba's Health System in 1986. Hyperbaric oxygenation is applied in different diseases, both alone and as supportive treatment for clinical or surgical therapy and it is based on the significant increased oxygen dissolved in the plasma when gas pressure is increased to a proper dosage using hyperbaric chambers. Nursing personnel plays a very important role in providing care to patients and the team is in charge of the security measures and techniques. Hyperbaric oxygenation has proved to be effective for the treatment of anaerobic sepsis, intoxication due to carbon monoxide, peritonitis, gastroduodenal ulcers, liver diseases, osteomyelitis, as a support for grafting and transplants and other diseases.
