Patient Wound Management Comparisons
| Factors | CFWH | Control Group |
| Length of Stay (LOS) | 8.9 days* | 13.2 days |
| Lower Extremity Amputation (LEA) | 8.2% | 20% |
| Healing Rate | 76% in 12 weeks | 24% in 12 weeks & 31% in 20 weeks |
*LOS for uncomplicated Osteomyellitis for CFWH patients was 5.9 days
As you can see, implementing a HBOT service through CFWH greatly reduces hospital time, decreases amputation rates, and speeds the healing process. Hyperbaric medicine has proven to be cost-effective and efficient in healing wounds and preventing both amputations and revised surgical procedures.
