When someone has a stroke, where the oxygen was completely depleted from the brain, there will be a center of dead brain cells. These are unrecoverable.
Then, there is a “penumbra” around the dead cells (like a halo around a circular mass). If the patient is not placed into a hyperbaric oxygen ASAP (within 5-6 hours or earlier preferably) after the stroke, the penumbra of brain cells will too be deadened. What an extreme loss!
The oxygen chamber provides oxygen levels of greater than 11 times normal or up to 620 mmHg so the chamber literally “pushes” oxygen to the penumbra thereby re-enlivening these cells before they become unrecoverable.
It is up to you whether you will waste our collective knowledge or implement and execute.
