The patient is placed in a chamber and the pressure is increased to an appropriate level. The time one is in the chamber depends upon the condition being treated.
You are put in a sealed chamber that is pressurized with pure oxygen. Similar to the pressurization of an airplane after lift off only on a bigger scale.
