Abstract
Application of hyperbaric oxygen, either in form of sessions with mild hyperoxia (1–2.5 ATA ≈ 100–250 kPa) or under pressures (up to 4–6.8 ATA) is used for different causes (enhancing cancer radiosensitivity, treatment of anaerobic infections, decompression sickness, consequences of cerebral ischemia a.o.). However, the danger of an increase of oxygen free radicals is given, whereas somatic adaptations will also occur.
