Abstract

In their experimental study of subjects who experienced hyperbaric exposure, Risberg, Englund, Aaanderud and Eftedal (2004) suggested need for further investigations to explore the relationship of individual characteristics with effects of hyperbaric exposure. Drawing on articles in the literature, I present here a discursive kind discussion of three topics: 1) the basic physiology of hyperbaric exposure, 2) two major environments of hyperbaric exposure, and 3) certain risks in hyperbaric exposure and some of the population groups implicated.
