Beyond 'the bends': 4,000 patients over 40 years at the RAH's hyperbaric chambers

Former Navy Clearance Diver Troy Pudney is Senior Hyperbaric Chamber Supervisor at the RAH.

"Each session is called a dive, reflecting the physics of the treatment and its diving heritage," says Troy.

In 2024, Adelaide did more multi-patient dives than any other hyperbaric chamber operating in Australia.

More than 70,000 high pressure oxygen treatments have been delivered at the RAH's Hyperbaric Unit, serving 4,000 patients over 40 years.

In this podcast episode we talk with Troy about his work with the Hyperbaric Unit as well as some of the history of how he found himself there.
