Recent news articles and evidence support the use of hyperbaric oxygen for treatment of COVID-19 caused by Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). However, be extremely cautious of opportunists! Beware of portable hyperbaric chamber companies advertising to “boost immunity” or treat COVID-19. Portable low-pressure hyperbaric chambers are only approved and proven to treat acute mountain sickness (AMS) and should not be confused with traditional hyperbaric chambers. Also, beware of freestanding clinics advertising COVID-19 treatment without qualified healthcare professionals trained, experienced and equipped to practice with strict infection control. Be vigilant and stay safe.
