ObjectiveTo explore the safety of ventilator support in hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the prevention of related complications.MethodsFrom July 2016 to December 2018, there were 127 intensive care unit patients underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy with ventilator. Medical professionals in hyperbaric medicine or intensive care medicine were arranged to accompany the patients in the treatment process, to observe the patients’ condition changes closely, monitor their heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, and perform sputum suction at any time if needed and monitor the airway peak pressure change to prevent pneumothorax.ResultsDuring the process of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 13 patients (10.24%) were treated with analgesia/sedation for patient-ventilator asynchrony, 4 patients (3.15%) exited the champer emergently for acute left heart failure, 3 patients (2.36%) had epileptic seizures, 3 patients (2.36%) had aspiration, and 1 patient (0.79%) had breath and cardiac arrest. After emergency treatment, all the patients returned to the ward safely.ConclusionDuring the treatment of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for intensive care unit patients with ventilator, the accompany of qualified professionals in hyperbaric medicine or intensive care medicine in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber can treat the patients’ symptoms timely and reduce the risk greatly.
