RESUMEN
The Covid-19 pandemic has taken its toll on health care teams faced with deaths and hospital overcrowding. Some caregivers suffered from vicarious trauma. Analyzing the impact of this trauma, its inclusion in a context of tension, fatigue and increased lassitude, is imperative in order to propose adjusted care. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy seems to have a relevant place in this context.

There are two types of indications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: it may be used as an emergency treatment in certain acute pathologies or as a therapy for chronic long-term pathologies. The indications are regularly updated and assessed through consensus conferences.

One of the reasons for the emergency use of a hyperbaric chamber concerns a diving-related accident. Decompression sickness is potentially serious; it requires urgent treatment and hyperbaric recompression. It is caused by the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the organism which appear during the diver's ascent and throughout his or her decompression.

Colourless and odourless, each year carbon monoxide is responsible for several thousand cases of poisoning. Often collective, their symptoms are non specific and can result in serious neurological sequelae or even death, if they are not detected in time. The (pre-) hospital emergency nurse plays an important role in the management of these patients, in terms of assessment, treatment and monitoring as well as the organisation of the admittance of victims, categorisation and medical triage. As part of a team, the nurse ensures that the patient enters an adapted, regulated pathway, with the most serious cases being directed towards a hospital equipped with a hyperbaric medicine facility.

The hyperbaric chamber is a particularly relevant therapy for the healing of chronic wounds such as radiation-induced wounds, ulcers, diabetic foot or osteomyelitis. This article describes the pathway of a patient with a chronic wound from the perspective of a hyperbaric medicine nurse.
