AB Hyperbaric  oxygen  (HBO)  is  used  therapeutically  in  poisoning  by  carbon  monoxide  (CO)  (alone  or  if  complicated  by  cyanide  {CN}  poisoning),  methylene  chloride,  hydrogen  sulfide  (H2S),  and  carbon  tetrachloride  (CCl4).  It  is  also  a  recognized  therapy  for  air  or  gas  embolism,  such  as  may  arise  from  ingestion  of  hydrogen  peroxide  (H2O2),  and  for  anemia,  a  functional  form  of  which  arises  from  oxidants  that  induce  methemoglobinemia.
