An atmosphere is 33ft, at sea level you have an atmosphere and to get to 1.5ata you add 16.5ft. I believe you can certainly gain benefit from any oxygen under pressure. I would like to give you more detail. I'll pm my number if you have further questions. Di
DianaA-

I'd love more info. I am curious about getting a private chamber which goes beyond the 1.5ATA which, from the sites I have browsed, seems to be on the low-side for RSD use. It appears that most of the affordable home chambers are the soft-sided and I am amazed you got one from a burn unit. Any legal problems you've encountered? Are you in the US? PM me - I'd love to talk with you sometime Thanks!
