This comprehensive volume captures the latest scientific evidence, technological advances, treatments and impact of biotechnology in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Divided into three distinct sections, the book begins with basic aspects that include history, equipment, safety and diagnostic approaches; this is followed by clinical applications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy in various modalities; the last section provides an overview of hyperbaric medicine as a specialty with best practices from around the world. Integration of multidisciplinary approaches to complex disorders are also covered.
Updated and significantly expanded from previous editions, Textbook of Hyperbaric Medicine, 6th Edition will continue to be the definitive guide to this burgeoning field for students, trainees, physicians and specialists.

A quarter of a century has passed since the fi rst edition of the book was published. Apart from
incorporating new advances since the fi fth edition, there was a major reorganization of the
book for the new publisher, Springer. Of the more than 2500 publications relevant to hyperbaric
medicine published during 2009–2015 that were reviewed, approximately 1300 have
been selected and added to the bibliography which has been divided and appended at the end
of each chapter. Several older references have been deleted, whereas others have been retained
either for their historical interest or for research that has not been repeated. As in previous editions,
proportionately more space has been devoted to disorders of the nervous system than
other therapeutic areas. Nine chapters on new topics have been added to this edition, and two
chapters from the fi rst edition were deleted with incorporation of essential information into
other chapters. With increasing application of biotechnologies to clinical medicine, applications
in combination with hyperbaric oxygen have been explored, including a new chapter on
personalized hyperbaric medicine. There is an increasing integration of multidisciplinary
approaches in management of complex disorders, and the role of hyperbaric oxygen in these
has been defi ned. Other new chapters include “Nursing in a Hyperbaric Medical Facility,”
“Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Military Medicine,” and “Ethics, Standards and Quality
Control in Practice of Hyperbaric Medicine.”
Finally, I would like to thank Gregory Sutorius, senior editor in Clinical Medicine at
Springer, for his encouragement and oversight of this project. Diane Lamsback, developmental
editor for Springer, has provided invaluable assistance in editing and managing this project.
