Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) has witnessed an extraordinary growth of interest and activity in the field of hyperbaric medicine. This is due, in part, to the important progress made in defining the mechanisms of action of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and to a growing awareness of its place in the medical treatment of various aspects of hypoxic-related illnesses. An increasing awareness of the significance of problems facing patients suffering from chronic and non-healing wounds in our aging society and the opportunity to improve patient outcomes has further stimulated the growth of this specialty. As with rapid growth in other specialties, the need exists for basic recommendations to guide practitioners on issues such as training, responsibility, staffing, credentialing, safety, and quality assurance. These recommendations are designed to help improve medical care, optimize outcomes, maintain safety, and positively affect the lives of our patients. This edition of the UHMS Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facility Operation is not intended to be inclusive, to re-write authoritative texts, or to usurp accepted organizations or certifying bodies, but often references these standards when appropriate. For example, in 2002 the UHMS established a voluntary clinical hyperbaric facility accreditation program. Recommendations contained in this report have been referenced as key survey elements of the accreditation process. As is the case with the practice of any medical specialty, responsibility to ensure competency, quality of care and safety falls to the providers of that care and the institutions that support their practice. By providing these recommendations, the UHMS hopes to stimulate and support the continued evolution of the safe and effective practice of this specialty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first edition of Hyperbaric Facility Safety, A Practical Guide was published it became an integral part of virtually every hyperbaric facility’s reference library, serving as the go-to standard for a hyperbaric safety program. In this second edition, editors W.T. “Tom” Workman and J. Steven “Steve” Wood have endeavored to establish a comprehensive balance between those hyperbaric providers who have a keen interest in the underlying design standards and regulatory framework and those who need to “get it done.” The second edition is structured into two parts. The first part explains the various regulatory agencies that may influence the field of hyperbaric medicine (including international perspectives), while the second part emphasizes a nuts-and-bolts approach to hyperbaric safety program development and how the safety program integrates all aspects of a hyperbaric facility. The editors, along with the 80 chapter authors and contributors bring experiences from clinical hyperbaric medicine, the U.S. Air Force and Navy, the UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation program, hyperbaric chamber engineering, manufacturing, and regulatory/standards development.

Download or read book Policy and Procedural Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facilities written by Laura Josefsen and published by Best Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of hyperbaric medicine, along with hyperbaric centers throughout the United States and abroad, continues to grow. This growth has been exponential, touting an increase from 350 centers in 1993 to well over 2,500 programs today. With this progression exists a need to establish a resource guideline for developing complete and comprehensive policies and procedures for clinical hyperbaric units. Hyperbaric policy and procedures provide the guiding principles and foundation for safety, quality, transparency, and cost-effective hyperbaric medical and nursing practice. Every hyperbaric facility needs to follow its specific policies and procedures. Policy and Procedural Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facilities provides needed resource and reference guidelines for new and established hyperbaric facilties. It will serve as a reference for the development of new hyperbaric policies as well as customize and enhance current policies and procedures already in place. Policy and Procedural Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facilities addresses issues of safety and practice for both the multiplace and monoplace environments. It utilizes regulatory guidelines and standards of practice as its foundation. Topics covered in this work include, but are not limited to, governance, administration, emergency procedures, patient care, hyperbaric chamber maintenance, treatment protocols and quality improvement. The appendices include sample forms for both Class A multiplace and Class B monoplace chambers. They are intended to serve as templates for development of hyperbaric unit-specific forms. Also included are acronyms, references, and an index, all specific to hyperbaric medicine. The guidelines provided in this document will benefit the diverse group of physicians, nurses, tecnicians, and allied health-care peronnel in the hyperbaric field as they customize their unit-specific policies and procedures. The contributing authors are comprised of established experts in the field of undersea and hyperbaric medicine. They are a diverse group of physicians, nurses, and technologists who devoted an extensive amount of time and energy into producing this resource document of the highest quality. Specific acknowledgements can be found in the List of Contributors section of the book. Endorsement from Baromedical Nurses Association (BNA) The Baromedical Nurses Association (established 1985) provides a forum for hyperbaric nursing that encompasses quality, safety, teamwork, mentoring, research, education, and nursing guidelines of standards of care for the patient receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The Baromedical Nurses Association endorses the Policy and Procedural Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facilities as guidelines to enable hyperbaric facilities to develop and/or endorse their unit-specific policies.
