Abstract：
Emergency hyperbaric oxygen treatment capability is limited in the United States, and there is little documentation of calls received by centers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our study aimed to calculate the number of calls received for urgent hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2). We logged calls from two HBO2 chambers on the East Coast of the United States that serve a densely populated region in 2021. The total number of emergency calls was 187 at the University of Maryland (UMD) and 127 at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). There were calls on 180/365 (46%) days during the study period at UMD and 239/365 (63%) days at UPenn. The most common indication was carbon monoxide toxicity. The peak month of calls was March. Emergency HBO2 calls are common, and more centers must accept emergency cases. Data from geographically diverse centers would add generalizability to these results and capture more diving-related emergencies.
摘要：
美国紧急高压氧治疗能力有限，每天24小时都有中心接到电话的文件，一周七天,一年365天我们的研究旨在计算紧急高压氧（HBO2）的呼叫数量。我们记录了2021年美国东海岸两个为人口稠密地区服务的HBO2会议厅的电话。马里兰大学（UMD）的紧急呼叫总数为187，宾夕法尼亚大学（UPenn）的紧急呼叫总数为127。在研究期间，UMD有180/365天（46％）的电话，在UPenn有239/365天（63％）的电话。最常见的适应症是一氧化碳毒性。通话的高峰月份是三月。HBO2紧急呼叫很常见，更多的中心必须接受紧急情况。来自地理位置不同的中心的数据将增加这些结果的普遍性，并捕获更多与潜水有关的紧急情况。
