That's the first good look I've gotten of entering and exiting a chamber. Looks like pretty tight quarters. How do you get someone in that is in really bad shape? Get someone to assist and go in first and drag the patient in? Is it unusual to have a healthy buddy in the chamber with you? I'd expect someone that is experiencing more extreme symptoms to be pretty anxious and scared.
I trip I never hope to make.
I too, hope that it is a trip you never have to make. I've "been there, done that", and the experience
(6, 5 hour "table 6" rides.) was more than enough for a lifetime (hopefully one not to be repeated.)
IIRC, chambers vary in size from a very small monoplace, "cigar tube"/coffin size, (nice thought), with room for just the patient-the platform that the patient lies on then slides into the chamber, which is then sealed up.
At the other extreme is a massive "room sized" chamber, that has multiple areas for treatment-treatment is done with the patient-and attendants- at large easy chair type beds.
The one in the video seemed to be a small-(not smallest) chamber that has room for an attendant.
I have personal experience with a similar, but somewhat larger, chamber. it had room for 2 patients and an attendant. Snug, not fun, and for me, a "better living through chemistry" moment-or should I say, hours/days.'
You have the right idea regarding how to get a patient that is in bad shape into the chamber.
BTW, in many chambers, where there is an attendant along for ther ride, the attendant is replaced every hour, which is one reason for the "airlock"-double hatched situation that you see in the video.
As I said, I hope thast you never need one .
