First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at how breathing pure oxygen under high pressure (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) affects the smallest blood vessels in healthy adults. Fifteen volunteers underwent different oxygen and pressure combinations while researchers measured blood flow using special cameras and sensors. The goal was simply to understand the body's response, not to treat any disease.
