The capacity utilization of the chambers depends on the number of treatment sessions<br />
per day and the average occupancy rate of the chamber during the sessions.<br />
Number of treatment sessions per day<br />
A treatment session takes about 150 minutes, i.e. a dive of 90 minutes and<br />
approximately half an hour work before and after the treatment. As a result, a<br />
hyperbaric chamber could effectively be used for up to four treatment sessions per day.<br />
However, at the Belgian centres, the chambers are used either ad hoc for emergency<br />
cases (mainly for the monoplace chambers), or at a fixed scheme of one or two sessions<br />
per day (for multiplace chambers).<br />
Number of patient treatment sessions per year<br />
Based on the data we received, the monoplace chambers are used from about 15 to<br />
270 sessions per year. The multiplace chambers are used from 870 “treatment sessions”<br />
per year (meaning 870 times that a patient receives a 90 min session) up to 2 700 at<br />
two hospitals and about 3 200 at the Military Hospital.<br />
Occupancy rate of the chambers during a session<br />
Based on the two above mentioned inputs and combined with the size of the chamber,<br />
the average occupancy rate of the chambers was calculated. Not taking into account<br />
whether a patient is sitting or lying, the estimated occupancy rate for the multiplace<br />
chambers varies from 30% to over 90%.<br />
5.7.2 Results from financial and clinical registration data<br />
The primary objective of this combined Minimal Clinical Data (MCD) and Minimal<br />
Financial Data (MFD) analysis is to complement the data provided through<br />
questionnaire by the HBOT centres concerning utilisation of HBOT. It is important to<br />
note that ambulatory patients are not included in this analysis.
