Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If pneumothorax occurs during hyperbaric treatment, chest tubes should be immediately inserted; failure to treat pneumothorax can have dire consequences. Gas-trapping can result in barotraumas for those with obstructive bronchial diseases. Similarly, patients who have upper respiratory in-fections and nasal congestion are usually unable to clear their ears during compression and de-compression and thus are prone to eardrum rupture during treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Transcutaneous monitoring has proven to be valuable in the assessment of the overall oxygena-tion status of a patient undergoing hyperbaric therapy. Arterial blood gas monitoring can provide information on the oxygenation status of patients receiving hyperbaric therapy and can also give an indication of their ventilatory status.
