Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is an essential component of several chronic wound healing treatment plans. This medical treatment increases the amount of oxygen in the patient's bloodstream, allowing oxygen to pass more easily through the plasma into the wounds to heal them.

Patients can relax by listening to music or watching movies while receiving treatments. **A caregiver in this position works 8:00am - 4:30pm.** A caregiver who excels in this role will: + Administer hyperbaric oxygen therapy and diagnostic testing to patients of the Wound Healing Center. + Order all therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. + Ascertain that the patient's diagnosis is one of the appropriate approved disorders for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and that the diagnosis is clearly entered on the patient's chart/record. + Perform hyperbaric chamber operator duties such as preparing, educating, and orienting patients about the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. + Be responsible for hyperbaric equipment/supply. + Ensure the safe and effective operation/maintenance of the hyperbaric chamber(s). + Implement the physician's orders as indicated by the patient's treatment plan (i.e. blood glucose monitoring, transcutaneous oxygen monitoring testing, dressing changes, patient education, etc.), administer the hyperbaric treatments, monitor the patient during therapy, consult with the hyperbaric physician regarding any adverse reactions, document treatment notes, and maintain patient treatment/diagnostic records. + Evaluate the patient outcome and meet with the manager, case manager and the hyperbaric physician to discuss patient treatment and adjust treatment as necessary. + Perform data entry into the Wound Information Data System and collate reports as requested by the director and/or the nurse manager. + Lead hyperbaric safety program activities and initiatives.
