When is it appropriate to use Treatment Table 7 (TT7)?

Treatment Table 7 (TT7) is utilized as an extension of specific nonstandard treatment tables. It is designed for treating conditions that may not be covered by standard treatment tables, specifically for cases of decompression sickness or other hyperbaric conditions where a tailored approach is necessary. By extending the treatment protocols to accommodate unique patient needs or specific scenarios, TT7 enables medical professionals to provide a more appropriate and effective response to certain diving-related medical emergencies.

This table uses a different set of pressures and durations to address specific cases, highlighting its flexibility and adaptability in unusual or complex situations where standard protocols might not be sufficient. It is not merely a first response for routine decompression sickness or specific mild gas embolism situations, nor is it intended primarily for standard oxygen therapy, underscoring its role in more specialized applications within hyperbaric medicine.
