Carbon monoxide is among the leading causes of poisoning death in the U.S. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can prevent brain injury and death from carbon monoxide poisoning by speeding up the removal of carbon monoxide from the blood. The staff of Penn Hyperbaric Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is on call 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year. Emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy is coordinated by Penn’s emergency response teams, including PennSTAR, to provide rapid, high quality care. Patients are treated by experienced physicians and clinical staff in a large multiperson chamber.
