San Francisco Institute
    for Hyperbaric Medicine

Mission

Mission Statement:

The Institute is dedicated to clinical research and education in the rapidly developing field of Hyperbaric Medicine.  Patient treatment under currently accepted guidelines will be provided on a space available basis.

Clinical research protocols will be based upon prospective, randomized, clinical trials.  If the end points are in anyway equivocal, every attempt will be made to double blind the studies.

Hyperbaric Team Training intended for individuals who are new to the field and plan to be involved with clinical HBO treatments on a daily basis will be offered by the Institute. This will include physicians, nurses and technicians.   The course will include both didactic lectures and hands on experience at the Institute’s chamber facility.

A periodic international symposium is also planned.  This will bring international experts from around the world to San Francisco for a state of the art review of the current status of Hyperbaric Medicine.
