This expansion comes in response to a growing need for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
During the last year, Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital’s hyperbaric chambers have been at the forefront of care during four major critical incidents, treating nearly 100 patients.
These chambers, often little known to the public, are critical for treating a wide variety of conditions as they use 100 percent oxygen administered in a pressurized chamber at levels greater than sea level pressure, typically twice the atmospheric pressure.
“Our hyperbaric chambers have been instrumental in treating patients for carbon monoxide poisoning, oxygen therapy for severe wounds, and even suicide attempts,” said Dr. Dallas Wright, Wound Care and Hyperbaric Physician at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital. “These new monoplace chambers will bolster our capacity to deliver critical care, especially as the only facility in the area offering these services. We regularly receive patients from as far away as Las Vegas who rely on our unique capabilities.”
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides benefits by using a large volume of oxygen to saturate the blood and tissues with the oxygen&#8217;s healing properties. This occurs from wearing a sealed hood or an airplane pilot like mask in the multiplace chamber or by breathing in the oxygen that fills the monoplace chamber.
The hospital currently operates a large, multi-person chamber that seats twelve people. The addition of the two new monoplace chambers will significantly enhance the hospital’s ability to treat more patients with greater flexibility, ensuring that the hospital remains at the forefront of hyperbaric care in the region.
Caregivers were given the opportunity to submit numerous creative name options for the new monopods, along with the current multi-person chamber. Then they voted on the final names.
The final voting picked the following names: Zion for the multi-person chamber, then Bryce and Kolob for the new monopods.
“We are deeply grateful for the trust our patients place in us and for the continued support of our community. As we move forward, these new hyperbaric chambers will stand as symbols of our commitment to providing the best care possible, no matter the circumstance,” said Dr. Wright.
Hyperbaric therapy can be offered in ways that don&#8217;t always provide 100% oxygen.  If you have questions about the benefits of these methods, need more information about Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital’s hyperbaric services or to learn more about the naming process, please visit <a data-value='test' href="http://intermountainhealth.org/" rel="noopener nofollow">intermountainhealth.org</a>.
