Abstract:
Objective To analyze the present status of hyperbaric oxygen ( HBO) medicine in Henan Province and explore its development strategy. Methods Questionnaire survey, on-site investigation and mathematical statistics were used to investigate and analyze the number and distribution of HBO medical institutions, the types and numbers of HBO chambers, the number and titles of qualified professionals engaged in HBO and academic researches in Henan Province. Ultimately, countermeasures and development strategy were recommended in the study. Results There are totally 153 medical institutions engaged in HBO treatment, but its regional distribution is not ideal. There are 181 HBO chambers in Henan Province, with the chamber types being relatively complete, and the growth rate of multi-people chambers is quite obvious. From 2013 to 2018, the number of professionals engaged in HBO medicine increased year by year. Professional titles, age of professionals and academic structure tend to be more reasonable. Doctors are insufficient in some of the chamber-operating posts. In recent years, academic exchanges of HBO medicine have expanded to a certain extent, however, greater efforts should be made in clinical research. Conclusion Further efforts should be made in the following fields: regional distribution of HBO chambers, further improvement of professional structure of the chamber-operating personnel, clinical research should be strengthened and academic level in the field of HBO medicine should be further enhanced.
