Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of quality control circle(QCC)activities in intervention of middle ear barotraumas in hyperbaric oxygen( HBO)therapy. Methods A total of 168 cases with middle ear barotraumas in HBO ther-apy from July to December 2012 were analyzed with QCC activities to find the reasons,and 650 times of interventions from A-pril to June 2013 were performed to find out the cause,and then the incidence rate of middle ear barotraumas in the 650 times were statistically analyzed. Results The incidence rate of middle ear barotraumas decreased from 18. 7% before intervention to 6. 5% after intervention in HBO therapy. Four major factors were as followed that the patients′conditions were not been well understood by the medical staff,the medical staff had not strong sense of responsibility on instruction of HBO therapy,the content of therapy instruction was not standard and the regulating method of pressure was not been understood by patients. The incidence rate of above four major factors was downregulated from 70. 2% before intervention to 33. 3% after intervention. The successs rate of ultimate goal was 96. 8%. Conclusion Quality of service may be improved,the incidence of middle ear barotraumas may be reduced and the effective therapy may be achieved in department of hyperbaric oxygen after the QCC activ-ities.
