UHMS Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facility Operations 

The UHMS Guidelines for Hyperbaric Facility Operations provides UHMS guidance related to training, responsibility, staffing, safety, and quality assurance for hyperbaric medicine facilities. This 3rd Edition includes the following updates:

• New section on research, teaching, and publication
• Physician/NPP proctorship and credentials
• RN guidelines and responsibilities
• Enhanced section on LPN/LVN job description
• Addition of the CHS /CHWS certifications
