Topic

The aim of the course is to introduce the physiological and physical basis of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and its current indications, as well as to provide an opportunity to participate in an on-site training session, which will include personal experiential education and the opportunity to try it out. After the theoretical basics, a block training session will be held to demonstrate the treatment procedure in a hands-on way.
