Our new multiplace chamber system is a vast improvement over the single one-person unit,which was located at Whipps Cross Hospital for many years. There is no narrow hatch to squeeze through, and patients can either walk in, or be be wheeled on a trolley through the large rectangular door into a bright and friendly atmosphere.
The chamber is filled with normal air which is then pressurised to the appropriate therapy pressure. Oxygen is delivered to the patient by means of a mask or hood tents which enables the expired air to be exhausted to the outside of the chamber.
