In order to calculate the impact of a shorter or longer lifetime of the hyperbaric
chamber, a one-way sensitivity analysis was performed. Figure 36 and Figure 37 show
that the impact of the lifetime of the equipment is rather limited.
This is in line with our expectations, as personnel costs are the most important cost
factor of this therapy.
