Abstract

A hyperbaric apparatus with storage compartment is provided comprising a chamber for housing a patient and administration of hyperbaric therapy, a moveable patient support platform for receiving the patient and for transferring the patient into and/or out of the chamber, and a base comprising a storage compartment for stowing a patient transport device. The storage compartment conveniently stows the patient transport device, excluding it from the space surrounding the hyperbaric chamber, thereby freeing-up floor space surrounding the hyperbaric treatment area, while keeping the transport device close-at-hand for removal of the patient upon the conclusion of hyperbaric treatment.
