Exciting News: Norcal Brain Center Upgrades their Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chambers!
Whispers of something big are circulating through the halls of Norcal Brain Center, and we’re ready to spill the beans! We’ve been keeping this news under wraps, but we can’t hold it in any longer: Norcal Brain Center is upgrading our hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with two brand new hard chambers! These new chambers will replace the current soft chambers, bringing an exciting array of benefits to enhance patient outcomes and experiences.
What’s Changing with the Hard Chambers?
The shift means a significant improvement in the oxygen capacity delivered during treatments. While the soft chambers deliver oxygen at 1.3 ATA and 21% O2, the new chambers will increase that to 1.5 ATA and 40% O2. This jump allows for a much higher flow of oxygen to the patient, increasing the overall efficacy and speed of healing.
The hard chambers can also treat at up to 7 psi of pressure, which improves oxygen absorption. The soft chambers still offer benefits, but this upgrade will significantly enhance both the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment.
Increased Comfort and Better Monitoring
In addition to the boost in oxygen delivery, these new chambers come with features designed to improve comfort and safety. The pressurization process is more gradual, allowing the HBOT staff to monitor and assess any discomfort, such as ear pressure.
They also come with a sliding door entry and a handlebar to assist with smoother entry. Outside the chamber, a digital display and control panel monitor key data, including internal pressure, air temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels to ensure optimal performance.
Perhaps the most exciting feature is the addition of air conditioning—no more ice packs needed!
Enhanced Patient Experience with New Amenities
To further elevate the patient experience, we’re adding new amenities to make your treatment even more comfortable and enjoyable. Patients can look forward to educational reading materials, videos, blankets, eye masks, and brain games to keep the mind active during treatments. We’re committed to making your time with us as relaxing and stimulating as possible.
We’re beyond excited about these upgrades, and we’re confident they’ll lead to improved patient outcomes and experiences. Get ready for a whole new level of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Norcal Brain Center!
