From the NBDHMT: “CHT re-certification requires a minimum of nine (9) of the minimum 12 Category A credits relate directly to any combination of hyperbaric operations, related technical aspects and chamber safety”.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Practitioners will be able to describe guidelines for diagnosing and managing patients in the hyperbaric environment, important pre-treatment concerns prior to initiating hyperbaric oxygen treatment; understand how to manage the critically ill patient in the hyperbaric environment; know when to utilize advanced modalities in patient care, and display understanding of currently available literature/reports on cancer regrowth or recurrence after a course of HBO2; understand of the basic principles of wound care and hyperbaric medicine.

Participants should be able to describe the philosophies of the physics, physiology, pathophysiology and the medical aspects of compressing patients and observers within the hyperbaric environment ensuring safe treatment protocol. The learners will be able to recognize diving accidents and gain knowledge, performance, and competence to safely and efficiently evaluate and medically treat divers, which in turn improves overall patient outcomes and decreases the professional practice gaps identified for this activity.
Participants will also be able to demonstrate an understanding of the types of hyperbaric systems available to them, how to operate the systems in an emergent situation, understand expectations and standards relating to the physician participating as a team member and medical leader in the hyperbaric environment; in a team atmosphere the physician will demonstrate the startup, operation and shut down of the hyperbaric system.

Disclaimer required by NBDHMT
Because some of the materials in this CEU program refer to it as a "course" instead of a program, and one of the faculty in the video lectures calls this a "course" instead of a program, the NBDHMT asked us to list the following disclaimer to clarify that this is not a "training course", but rather that it is a CEU program for continuing education purposes.
"The NBDHMT has individually approved each topic listed below as either Category A or Category B credits. The NBDHMT does not recognize the sum of this material to represent an "Approved Hyperbaric Training Course", in the context of CHT/CHRN/CHT-V certification eligibility, for those who choose to view and earn credit every topic listed."
The Board now requires the following statement to accompany all subsequent references to NBDHMT approved CEU, one that serves as a reminder of CHT core competency:
“CHT re-certification requires a minimum of nine of the minimum 12 Category A credits relate directly to any combination of hyperbaric operations, related technical aspects and chamber safety”.
