The main goal of this document is to present a European Code describing the minimum of requirements for operation of any medical centre serving hyperbaric therapies. This code has been compiled based on the existing experiences of experts from hyperbaric centres, committees, professional and scientific associations.
This code does not replace any national regulations, but it is intended to be a reference document for European countries to provide Guidelines, Regulations, and Standards in all fields of hyperbaric medicine.
It relates to hyperbaric treatment as a procedure affecting patients, staff and any third parties involved in the therapeutic process but not to the medical treatment protocols unless they could affect the level of safety.
This document was written by members of the ECHM Editorial Task Force and was reviewed and approved by the ECHM Management Committee.
