Hyperbaric medicine is medical treatment in which an ambient pressure greater than sea level atmospheric pressure is a necessary component.

The treatment comprises hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the medical use of oxygen at an ambient pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, and therapeutic recompression for decompression illness, intended to reduce the injurious effects of systemic gas bubbles by physically reducing their size and providing improved conditions for elimination of bubbles and excess dissolved gas.

Amputation is the removal of a limb by trauma, medical illness, or surgery.

As a surgical measure, it is used to control pain or a disease process in the affected limb, such as malignancy or gangrene.

In some cases, it is carried out on individuals as a preventative surgery for such problems.

A special case is that of congenital amputation, a congenital disorder, where fetal limbs have been cut off by constrictive bands.

In some countries, amputation of the hands, feet or other body parts is or was used as a form of punishment for people who committed crimes.

Amputation has also been used as a tactic in war and acts of terrorism; it may also occur as a war injury.

In some cultures and religions, minor amputations or mutilations are considered a ritual accomplishment.

Preventive healthcare (alternately preventive medicine or prophylaxis) consists of measures taken for disease prevention, as opposed to disease treatment.

Health, disease, and disability are dynamic processes which begin before individuals realize they are affected.

Disease prevention relies on anticipatory actions that can be categorized as primal, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
