Under what temperature conditions is treatment considered unlimited in a hyperbaric chamber?

In hyperbaric medicine, treatment conditions are primarily influenced by the temperature within the hyperbaric chamber. When the temperature is under 85°F, it is considered the safest range for unlimited treatment without needing additional precautions. This is primarily due to the fact that cooler temperatures reduce the risk of adverse effects associated with prolonged high temperatures, such as heat stress or thermal injury.

As the temperature exceeds 85°F, particularly as it reaches the range of 90-110°F and above, there may be increased risks involved, including the potential for dehydration or heat-related illnesses. Consequently, treatment duration may need to be limited or monitored more closely to ensure patient safety. Thus, maintaining a lower temperature while providing hyperbaric treatment helps to mitigate these risks and allows for more flexible and extended treatment options.
