You are correct. It is not a lung problem until the very end when the body spins up everything to try to save itself. The most effective treatment along with a blood transfusion is using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or tube. Everyone knows hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a hazard of scuba diving. We treat other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that won't heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.
The basic principle behind hyperbaric chamber therapy is that cells repair themselves more efficiently when exposed to a higher oxygen content via the blood. It forces the hemoglobin to take on more oxygen.
