Three new hyperbaric chambers in Zadar, Dubrovnik and Crikvenica
In addition to Zagreb, Split and Pula, new hyperbaric chambers, essential for treatment of decompression sickness, were provided to Zadar and Dubrovnik in late 2007 and Crikvenica in 2008.
Around 70 thousand registered dives a year require 30 such interventions and the figure is expected grow year after year.
The hyperbaric chamber in Zadar can treat six patients at a time and it benefits from an antechamber.
In case of complications in a treated patient, a physician enters the antechamber where the pressure equalizes with that in the chamber and helps the patient.
The hyperbaric chamber is situated in a special container on a trailer and may be dislocated as needed.
Zadar has already established the International Center for Underwater Architecture and they are working on establishing diving technique study programs.
