Air or Gas Embolism
Air or gas embolism occurs when bubbles enter the bloodstream and obstruct blood flow. This medical emergency is most commonly associated with diving accidents or surgical procedures. HBOT reduces bubble size through increased pressure (Boyle's Law) while improving oxygen delivery to ischemic tissues.
