| Post subject: | Hyperbaric treatment? |
Has anybody here on the site had any hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments? It is being put into a pressurized chamber with pure oxygen, to treat wounds that are not healing normally. Just wondering about wearing diapers during the treatment sessions. The sessions can run from 1/2 hour to 2 1/2 hours. They have to be very careful about any static electricity. I am scheduled for an evaluation Monday morning and possible treatment the same day. Thanks for any input. Gary |

If the staff's fears of static electricity prevent you from wearing diapers, you might request a Foley for the duration of the test. Good luck and keep us informed. |

I went for the evaluation today and they did accept me for the treatments, which is fantastic. I took both a cloth backed and plastic diaper to show them what I would need to wear. They were all very professional and did not bat an eye at my need to wear a diaper during the procedures. They thought the cloth type disposables would be best, but no velcro type fasteners. I will have 20 treatments, each one for 2 hours. They seem to think that the disposables with the tape type fasteners would be the safest. So I am looking at the Abena M-4 air plus that has the two tape fasteners. |
