Description

HYPERBÁRICA CAMERA IMPROVED MONOPLAZA TO REALIZE HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), specifically, the invention discloses an improved single-seat chamber for performing hyperbaric oxygen therapies.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hyperbaric medicine, also known as hyperbaric therapy with oxygen (HBOT), corresponds to the medical use of oxygen at levels higher than those present under atmospheric pressure, which generates a drastic increase in the partial pressure of oxygen in body tissues, a beneficial effect in the treatment of decompression, air embolism, CO poisoning, acute ischemia, exceptional blood loss, intracranial abscess, necrotizing fasciitis, osteomyelitis, radiation injuries, skin grafts, Clostridium myositis, myonecrosis and thermal burns .

The hyperbaric chambers traditionally used in HBOT are pressurized hermetic containers that can be used at absolute pressures above 600KPa and vary in sizes from portable cameras for the treatment of a patient (single-seater), to fixed and complex for the treatment of eight or more patients (multiplaza). These cameras include conventionally: • A pressurized hermetic container made of steel and aluminum with windows and / or an acrylic coating.

• One or more hatches for the entrance of the patient (s).

· A lock that leads to the main chamber and allows the conditioning of the patient, the entry of medicines, instruments or food (multiplace model). .

• Windows or CCTV that allows medical and technical personnel to monitor the interior of the camera.

• An intercom that allows communication in two ways inside and outside the camera.

• A CO2 scrubber consisting of a fan that passes the gas from the chamber through a soda lime filter.

· A control panel located on the outside of the chamber to open and close the valves that control the supply (inlet or outlet) of oxygen to the masks.

Inside the hyperbaric chamber a comparable situation is created, as regards the variations of the environmental pressure, to that in which a diver is in the course of a dive, with the marked difference that in the case of the hyperbaric chamber, the different pressure conditions presented are achieved dry. The development of technology and hyperbaric therapy owes much to the studies related to the physiopathology and the clinic of scuba diving. A person who breathes the air of their oxygen tanks at certain depths must climb to the marine surface with caution, as the increased environmental pressure determines an increase in the amount of gas present in their body. The elimination of excess gas can occur with a slow and gradual return to normal pressure, indicated in special tables called "decompression tables". Those who do not respect such rules run the risk of developing decompression sickness, as well as a traumatic gaseous embolism. The first is the formation of small air bubbles in the arteries and veins, which can occlude and determine serious tissue damage; the second is a laceration of the lung caused by a sudden drop in the environmental pressure and by the consequent expansion of the gases present in the airways. In such a situation, the hyperbaric chamber constitutes the ideal therapeutic medium, since by increasing the pressure, it is possible to reduce both the size of the circulating air bubbles in blood and the volume of air contained in the respiratory system.

In the sweeping stage, the air inside the chamber is dislodged and replaced by pure O2. In the compression stage, the atmosphere inside said chamber is compressed with pure 02 at a speed of 9.80 kPa / min until reaching a pressure in the range of 172.25 kPa to 304 kPa. In said compression stage the speed provided by said pneumatic system is in the range of 150 L / min of O2 up to 250 L / min of 0?. In the stage of exposure or isopression a stable pressure is reached achieving a concentration of 96. Pure% 02 at a speed of between 15 L / min to 25 Umin of 02. In the recirculation stage oxygen is circulated inside said hyperbaric chamber through a filter element with a sodium lime filtering medium during the entire exposure phase in order to eliminate the CO2 produced by the patient and finally in the decompression stage the 02 that is inside the said chamber is evacuated at a decompression speed of 58.8 kPa until reaching a pressure of 101, 325 kPa. In this decompression step, an emergency decompression speed of 206.9 kPa at 0 kPa in 120 seconds is also available, once this stage is finished, the chamber door can be opened and the treatment session ends.
