Hyperbaric oxygen use. Update 1984.

R A Myers, B M Schnitzer

    Postgraduate Medicine
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is gaining interest, with new chambers increasing annually. A 1983 classification divides HBO treatments into proven (reimbursable) and unproven categories, with potential for future reclassification.

    Area of Science:

    • Hyperbaric medicine
    • Biomedical engineering

    Background:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a rapidly developing medical treatment.
    • Significant interest is demonstrated by the establishment of approximately 60 new HBO chambers annually in the U.S.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the classification system for hyperbaric oxygen therapy established in 1983.
    • To differentiate between conditions with established efficacy and those requiring further research for HBO treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the 1983 classification by the Hyperbaric Medicine Committee of the Undersea Medical Society.
    • Categorization of conditions based on established efficacy and third-party reimbursement.

    Main Results:

    • Conditions treated with HBO were divided into two categories: Category 1 (proven effective and reimbursable) and Category 2 (unproven and not reimbursable).
    • This classification system provides a framework for evaluating and adopting HBO treatments.

    Conclusions:

    • The classification system distinguishes between established and experimental applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
    • Future reclassification of Category 2 conditions to Category 1 could expand access to reimbursable HBO treatments.
