自1977年以来,日本水下医学会高压氧疗法委员会(UMS)规定了高压氧疗法(HBO)作为内科治疗的一种方法。在治疗时,病人密闭在压力舱内,呼吸大于一个大气压的氧。历史上,1662年,汉肖(Henshaw)建造了临床应用的高压舱,1960年波莱玛(Boerema)等确立了有关高压氧的生理基础。日本医学科学家和临床医师不久便开始在不同的治疗领域中证实他们的种种设想。日本高气压疗医学会是由桧本、桥本教授及其同事创立的。从学会成立以来的18年,可分为三期。 Since 1977, the Japanese Underwater Medical Association’s Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Council (UMS) has prescribed hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) as a method of medical treatment. During treatment, the patient is enclosed in a pressure chamber and breathes oxygen greater than one atmosphere. Historically, in 1662, Henshaw built a clinically used hyperbaric chamber. In 1960, Boerema et al. Established the physiological basis for hyperbaric oxygen. Japanese medical scientists and clinicians soon began to validate their assumptions in different therapeutic fields. The Japan Society of Hyperbaric Medicine was founded by Professor Hashimoto and Professor Hashimoto and colleagues. From 18 years since its founding, it can be divided into three phases.
