Abstract
Hyperbaric medicine is practiced throughout the world, but the indications vary from one country to another. As examples, HBO developments in various countries are described here as well as the worldwide distribution of hyperbaric facilities. Since the USA is covered in Chap. 50 and Latin America in Chap. 51, the rest of the countries are included in this chapter with examples limited to Germany, China, Japan, and Russia.
