DOMAIN / HYPERBARIC
Pressure exposure beyond ordinary diving.
Chambers, tunnelling, caisson work and experimental pressure exposures do not fit neatly into scuba or aerospace. OpenDeco gives them a place without flattening the differences.
What we cover
This domain collects pressure-exposure evidence that is scientifically relevant to decompression but would be misleading if presented as ordinary diving data.
- Compressed-air and caisson work
- Tunnelling exposures
- Hyperbaric chamber studies
- Experimental pressure profiles
- Historical decompression trials
- Animal data where relevant and ethically and legally usable
- Non-diving occupational exposure
- Cross-domain physiological endpoints

What the hyperbaric programme asks
- Which historical chamber and occupational datasets can still be reconstructed at useful resolution?
- How should animal, chamber and occupational evidence be labelled so it informs without being overgeneralized?
- Where do pressure-history details materially alter the interpretation of an outcome?
- Which cross-domain endpoints are genuinely comparable and which only share a name?
Current work
Published and active OpenDeco work in hyperbaric appears here when it has a real project record, source trail and status. Draft ideas without a defined research record do not appear as public projects.
No public hyperbaric projects yet.
OpenDeco keeps domain labels visible because evidence can travel across fields more easily than its assumptions do. Cross-domain comparison is useful only when the population, pressure history, endpoint and model context remain explicit.
