Abstract：Objective:To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the healing of the bone flap in the craniotomy, and to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods:In hospital from August 2007 to January,80 patients were treated with craniotomy and craniotomy,and were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen group and the conventional group,40 cases in each group. Routine group were treated with bone flap decompression and drug treatment,hyperbaric oxygen therapy group was treated with the increase of hyperbaric oxygen therapy under the treatment of bone flap decompression and related drugs. The healing effect of the two groups of patients,patient satisfaction and hospital stay,hospital costs,postoperative complications. Results:The rate of Grade A in hyperbaric oxygen group was 95% ,the healing rate of the conventional group was 80% ,and the healing rate of the hyperbaric oxygen group was significantly higher than that of the conventional group(P < 0. 05). The satis-faction rate of hyperbaric oxygen group was 95% ,and the satisfaction rate of the conventional group was 72. 5% ,and the satis-faction rate was significantly higher than that of the conventional group(P < 0. 05). The complication of hyperbaric oxygen group was 2. 5% ,the complication of the routine group was 20% ,and the complications of hyperbaric oxygen group were signif-icantly lower than that of the conventional group(P < 0. 05). The hospitalization time and cost of hyperbaric oxygen group were significantly lower than that of the conventional group(P < 0. 05). Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of decompressive craniectomy healing effect,is conducive to the promotion of patients at the mouth of the healing and reduce postoperative mouth incidence of adverse circumstances,is conducive to promote the patient′s recovery,and shorten the time of hospitalization and reduce the economic burden,the patient overall satisfaction also can be improved.
