Established in 1965, the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine at Shock Trauma is internationally recognized for its leadership and expertise in the clinical application of hyperbaric therapy. With the only multiplace hyperbaric chamber in the State of Maryland, the Center can accommodate up to 23 patients and care providers per dive. Conditions that are responsive to hyperbaric oxygen therapy include: Within this Center, recreational and commercial scuba divers can also undergo dive physicals to ensure they are healthy enough to dive.

Overview The subspecialty of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine is a discipline that deals with the prevention of injury and illness due to exposure to environments in which the ambient pressure is increased, such as in diving or hyperbaric chamber exposure, and the therapeutic use of high environmental pressure and the delivery of oxygen under high pressure to treat disease. The scope of the subspecialty emphasizes the occupational, environmental, safety, and clinical aspects of diving, hyperbaric chamber operations, compressed air work, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy Continue reading →

State-of-the-art care for patients with non-healing and chronic wounds The Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Program at NYU Winthrop Hospital provides patients with expert and specialized treatment of persistent or chronic wounds. A wound that does not respond to typical medical treatment within 30 days is considered a chronic wound. Non-healing wounds are associated with poor circulation, inadequate vein function, and immobility. When wounds are chronic, a highly specialized treatment approach is required for proper healing. Non-healing woundsincluding diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and sickle cell ulcersaffect millions of Americans every day, and account for 200,000 hospital admissions in the U.S. each year. Developing the knowledge and clinical expertise to heal difficult wounds of all types is one of the primary missions of the Wound Healing Center at NYU Winthrop Hospital. We have made significant strides in this direction already, and are poised to accomplish much more in the years ahead. By staying at the forefront of wound research, and by treating each patient based on a scientific analysis of their own, unique wound tissue, we've shown we can heal even the most difficult chronic woundsincluding wounds that have been treated unsuccessfully at other wound centers. This is … Continue reading →
