In a memo dated August 26, 2002, all potential users of the Toronto General Hospital (TGH) Hyperbaric Chamber were notified that the TGH Chamber was closing for 15 months as of Sept.. 30, 2002. That is no longer the case. A new 6 ATA multiplace Hyperbaric Chamber is now open and ready for patient care in a new location: the 2"d floor of the Eaton Wing of TGH. All physician requests for the TGH Hyperbaric Chamber services should be accessed through CritiCall, 1 - 800 - 668 - 4357, a 24-hour-a-day referral service for Physicians in Ontario caring for seriously ill patients in Ontario. CritiCall will contact the appropriate facility and arrange for patient transportation to the facility. Patients who require emergency Hyperbaric medical services should go to the nearest hospital Emergency Department.
Should you have further questions, please contact the TGH Hyperbaric Medicine Unit at 416 - 340 - 4131.
