Ans: C
Feedback:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers 100 oxygen at two to three times the normal atmospheric pressure at sea level. The goal of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is to increase oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in the plasma. Hyperbaric oxygen is currently reserved for the treatment of problem wounds in which hypoxia and infection interfere with healing.
