Germonpre, Belgium; J. Kot, Poland; P. Müller, Germany; M. Hamilton- Farrell, United Kingdom; H. Andel, Austria) Abstract: This chapter contains a list of therapeutic centres for hyperbaric medicine located in Europe. Each centre was added to the list based on the voluntarily request for inclusion by the centre with verification by the members of the Working Group of the COST Action B14. The detailed database is presented on the Oxynet website (www.oxynet.org) Keywords: hyperbaric oxygen therapy; hyperbaric centre The COST Action B14 "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy", in its first phase comprised three Working Groups, one of which was dedicated to the development of an internet information and communication tool. The work of this group led to the elaboration of a portal internet site for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, called "Oxynet". One of the essential parts of this website is a contact list of hyperbaric centres in Europe and immediate adjacent countries, even if it was acknowledged that it would be difficult to obtain a complete and verified list. Therefore, it was decided to allow inclusion on the list on the basis of a voluntary submission of data by each centre, and to have an appropriate disclaimer text on the page. At the term of the COST B14 Action, 180 HBO Centres from 24 different countries had registered for inclusion on the website. Website statistics showed that monthly, over

1500 visits and more than 20.000 "page hits" were counted. In December 2004, it was decided that 793 D. Mathieu (ed.), Handbook on Hyperbaric Medicine , 793–803. © 2006 Springer.
