Overview

This study assesses awareness and practice of hyperbaric oxygen therapy among Nigerian doctors, indicating a notable knowledge gap.

Key Points

  • Most Nigeria-trained doctors showed limited awareness and knowledge about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • Approximately 86% of participants reported never visiting a hyperbaric unit, crucial for HBOT delivery.
  • Only 23% knew that HBOT is indicated for carbon monoxide poisoning, highlighting significant knowledge gaps.
  • Urgent steps are needed for awareness campaigns and training programs to bridge the practice gap in HBOT.
