Oxygen acts as a therapeutic drug in HBOT but excess of it leads to severe toxicity affecting brain and the lungs. CNS toxicity is seen at pressures >3ATA. Exposure more than 0.5 ATA leads to pulmonary issues like tracheobronchitis and ARDS. Measures to control oxygen toxicity are the norm for successful completion of sessions in hyperbaric chambers.

Oxygen acts as a therapeutic drug in HBOT but excess of it leads to severe toxicity affecting brain and the lungs. CNS toxicity is seen at pressures >3ATA. Exposure more than 0.5 ATA leads to pulmonary issues like tracheobronchitis and ARDS. Measures to control oxygen toxicity are the norm for successful completion of sessions in hyperbaric chambers.
