A transportable hyperbaric chamber called the Gamow bag has been reported as an effective means of treating high-altitude illness. The pressure limit of the original bag is set at 2 psi because of the fragility of the fabric. However, improvement of the hardware to make the bag capable of withstanding higher pressures has made it possible to perform standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy with the newly devised portable chamber, the Chamberlite 15. In this study, the safety of the new bag was examined using healthy human volunteers, and the bag was shown to be usable in clinical emergency cases, such as CO intoxication and decompression sickness. The effectiveness of emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy was also examined using the CO intoxication model of the rat. It was suggested that hyperbaric therapy was especially beneficial if applied during the first 30 minutes of rescue work. It was concluded that the transportable chamber was a promising emergency tool for CO intoxication.
一种名为加莫夫袋的可移动高压舱已被报道为治疗高原病的有效手段。由于织物的脆弱性，原始袋子的压力极限设定为2磅力/平方英寸。然而，硬件的改进使袋子能够承受更高的压力，这使得使用新设计的便携式舱室Chamberlite 15进行标准的高压氧治疗成为可能。在本研究中，使用健康人类志愿者检查了新袋子的安全性，结果表明该袋子可用于临床紧急情况，如一氧化碳中毒和减压病。还使用大鼠一氧化碳中毒模型研究了紧急高压氧治疗的有效性。结果表明，如果在救援工作的前30分钟内进行高压治疗，效果尤其显著。得出的结论是，可移动舱室是治疗一氧化碳中毒的一种很有前景的急救工具。
