Hyperbaric Therapy Nurses

[KalipsoRed]

Hello!

I was just wanting to see how many of ya'll there are out there who treat patient's with hyperbaric therapy? How did you become a hyperbaric therapy nurse? What are the qualifications? And could you describe how one monitors a patient during treatment? i.e. do you have to check vitals q 10 mintues or what? Which vitals do you check? I know that you are looking for O2 toxicity and/or decompression sickness, are there other issues that have occurred during treatment that were unsual? Thanks for your input!
