Very interesting question.  I assume you mean a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.  The easy answer is yes.

Probably wouldn't be safe. You may be able to get some oral sedation though.

Yes, you can, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and anesthesia have been used in conjunction with each other to treat a variety of conditions for over 60 years.
