What document governs the safe design and construction of pressure vessels for human occupancy (PVHO) in the US?
Answer: ASME PVHO-1
ASME PVHO-1 is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard specifically for pressure vessels designed to hold human occupants.
Fire risk management in a hyperbaric facility requires that all patient garments be:
Answer: 100% cotton and free of synthetic materials, oils, and metallic accessories
In oxygen-enriched environments, synthetic fabrics and oils ignite far more easily; 100% cotton garments are standard to minimize fire risk.
A written hyperbaric safety program must include a section on:
Answer: Fire prevention, emergency procedures, patient screening, and staff training requirements
A complete hyperbaric safety program addresses fire risk, emergency response, patient selection, and the training requirements that protect patients and staff.
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) in a hyperbaric unit involves:
Answer: Ongoing data collection, analysis of outcomes, identification of gaps, and implementation of improvements
CQI is an iterative process that continuously evaluates clinical and operational data to make incremental improvements in care and safety.
Patient consent for HBO therapy must include discussion of:
Answer: Treatment rationale, expected benefits, risks (barotrauma, oxygen toxicity, fire), and alternatives
Informed consent requires full disclosure of risks, benefits, and alternatives so the patient can make an autonomous, educated decision.
When documenting a hyperbaric treatment adverse event, the technologist should:
Answer: Record the event in the treatment log, complete an incident report, and notify the Medical Director promptly
Immediate and complete documentation of adverse events plus Medical Director notification are required for patient safety, quality review, and regulatory compliance.
