A 5 -year -old boy said he was dead after the hypervalic chamber exploded at a medical facility in Troy, Michigan on Friday.
The unknown casualties were in the chamber, a pressurized container, which contains 100 % oxygen when it suddenly exploded at the Oxford Center in 165 Kirts BLVD just before 8:00 am.
The explosion caused a fire broke out in the room in the room. Police said it was unknown why explosion and subsequent fire did not spread to the rest of the facility.

Celebrities such as beams and Biarik use high -pressure oxygen therapy: this is the reason for the trend.
Police and fire officers said that they died in the room when the Royal Oak boy arrived at the scene.
Police said his mother in the room was injured by her arms.
Colonel Troy Police Ben Hancock described the explosion as a “very sad incident,” and said that such a case was rare.

“I'm not used to responding to one of these recently,” said Hancock. “Also, [a] A terrible, tragic event that we don't want to react so far. “
The high -pressure chamber contains 100 % oxygen, which is up to three times the amount of oxygen than normal rooms.
“If such a large amount of oxygen exists in a pressurized environment, it will be very flammable,” said Keith Young at the Troy Fire Department. “Our first research indicates that this is not a general case, and that the scene remains aggressive.”

It is unknown that a boy who needs to be inside the room used to provide high -pressure oxygen therapy (HBot) has him. A typical chamber needs one person and needs to lie on the patient on a tube -shaped device that looks like an MRI machine and breathe oxygen.
According to FDA, Hboy is famous for treating a deep -sea diver, which was influenced by the rapid change of scuba and surrounding pressure. This device is also used to treat various other health problems, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetes, cerebral palsy, anemia, skin and bone infection, and loss of vision.
Such devices require FDA clearance to allow the FDA clearance to be used as intended and that it is safe and effective.

In a statement to Detroit Free Press, Andrew Kistner, the Oxford Center spokesman, wrote unknown.
“This morning, a fire broke out inside the high -pressure oxygen chamber. The child treated by the chamber could not survive and was injured by the child's mother.”
“The safety and happiness of the children we serve are our top priority, and nothing more than 15 years of treatment has happened.”
In May 2009, an explosion of a pressurized oxygen chamber died of his 4 -year -old and 62 -year -old grandmother. According to CBS, the explosion removed the tube attached to the high -pressure chamber, causing explosions and flashes.
