Description

Hyperbaric oxygen chamber for one person {HYPERBARIC OXYGEN CHAMBER FOR ONE PERSON}

The present invention relates to a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for one person. More specifically, it relates to a single-person hyperbaric oxygen chamber that can measure and analyze the gas in the chamber and adjust the pressure while maintaining the ratio and concentration of the gas.

In general, hyperbaric oxygen treatment refers to a treatment that increases the oxygen concentration in the patient's body by supplying high purity or 100% concentration oxygen in an environment with atmospheric pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. At this time, a high-pressure oxygen chamber is used as the main equipment, and the concentration of oxygen used in treatment may vary depending on the patient's symptoms and severity. During hyperbaric oxygen treatment, the concentration of oxygen can generally be adjusted by mixing gases other than oxygen. It is important to properly set and control the pressure inside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to reduce the side effects of treatment and maximize the effect.

Meanwhile, in the process of performing high-pressure oxygen treatment using a conventional high-pressure oxygen chamber, in order to control the pressure within the chamber, the gas mixed in the chamber is supplied or discharged through an intake or exhaust port. In addition, due to the nature of high-pressure oxygen treatment, which is performed in a closed space, carbon dioxide generated from the patient must be discharged to the outside. However, when resupplying gas into the chamber after discharge, it is difficult to supply the gas in consideration of the component ratio of the gas remaining in the chamber in order to maintain a constant oxygen concentration. As a way to solve this problem, various technologies have been introduced in the form of high-pressure oxygen treatment systems, but conventional alternatives still have the problem of low precision in treatment because it is difficult to supply or maintain an appropriate oxygen concentration.

In order to overcome these problems, the present invention proposes a single-person hyperbaric oxygen chamber that can measure and analyze the gas in the chamber and adjust the pressure while maintaining the ratio and concentration of the gas.
