Current reimbursement for burn care underscores the importance of cost containment in the treatment of burn injuries. We evaluate the economic impact of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in burns of 19% to 50% total body surface area in patients admitted to our burn center from January 1982 to July 1987. Length of hospitalization, number of surgical procedures, and total cost of care, exclusive of surgical fees, were examined. Eleven patients did not receive adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, whereas 10 did. The hyperbaric oxygen-treated group had an average decrease in length of stay of 14.8 days, a reduction of surgical procedures of 39%, and an average saving per case of $31,600.
目前烧伤护理的报销情况凸显了烧伤治疗中成本控制的重要性。我们评估了1982年1月至1987年7月期间入住我们烧伤中心、烧伤面积达体表面积19%至50%的患者接受辅助高压氧治疗的经济影响。我们考察了住院时间、手术次数以及不包括手术费用的护理总成本。11名患者未接受辅助高压氧治疗，而10名患者接受了该治疗。接受高压氧治疗的组平均住院时间减少了14.8天，手术次数减少了39%，每例平均节省31,600美元。
