This work describes an innovative simulator for clinical hyperbaric chambers that addresses critical training gaps in hyperbaric medicine. The system provides medical and technical personnel with a risk-free environment to develop essential operational skills without endangering patients or costly equipment. The simulator employs a dual-module architecture with web-based accessibility, intuitive controls for realistic chamber operation, and robust administrative capabilities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the simulator in the training process, we conducted a pilot study with clinical professionals. This study demonstrated significant improvements in procedural proficiency and emergency response capabilities, with participants showing measurable skill enhancement after simulator-based training sessions. The preliminary quantitative assessments revealed high educational value of proposed simulation software. This technological advancement represents a substantial contribution to hyperbaric medicine education, supporting both initial training and ongoing competency maintenance for clinical and technical operators in this specialized medical field.

Abstract

This work describes an innovative simulator for clinical hyperbaric chambers that addresses critical training gaps in hyperbaric medicine. The system provides medical and technical personnel with a risk-free environment to develop essential operational skills without endangering patients or costly equipment. The simulator employs a dual-module architecture with web-based accessibility, intuitive controls for realistic chamber operation, and robust administrative capabilities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the simulator in the training process, we conducted a pilot study with clinical professionals. This study demonstrated significant improvements in procedural proficiency and emergency response capabilities, with participants showing measurable skill enhancement after simulator-based training sessions. The preliminary quantitative assessments revealed high educational value of proposed simulation software. This technological advancement represents a substantial contribution to hyperbaric medicine education, supporting both initial training and ongoing competency maintenance for clinical and technical operators in this specialized medical field.
