While waiting for spontaneous closure increases the risk of hypertrophic\u00a0scar and keloid, early excision and grafting pose the risk of donor site wound and permanent color differences.\u00a0Unlike many studies in the literature, the current study was planned in a way to minimize factors\u00a0other than burn wounds to investigate the effect of adding hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy to conventional\u00a0treatment in deep second-degree burn wounds.  Material and Method: This prospective observational study included patients with burn injuries who\u00a0underwent conventional treatment alone and those who underwent conventional plus HBO2 treatment\u00a0performed by a single experienced surgeon and who met the study criteria.  Results: Thirty-eight patients completed the study. Mean burned total body surface area (TBSA) was.\u00a09.22 \u00c5}3 43% (range 5% to 20%). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of age, burned\u00a0TBSA, and burn etiology. The need for surgery and grafting was lower in patients who received HBO2 in\u00a0addition to conventional treatment (p=0.003 and p=0.03, respectively). The patients in the HBO2 group\u00a0had a shorter hospital stay, and their wounds epithelialized in a shorter time (p=0.169 and p&lt;0.001,\u00a0respectively). They also had a higher satisfaction level and lower treatment cost (p=0.03 and p=0.36,\u00a0respectively).  Discussion: The results of this prospective study, in which co-factors were eliminated, showed that adding\u00a0HBO2 to the conventional treatment of deep second-degree burns had a significant positive effect on\u00a0patient outcomes, as well as reducing treatment costs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22462\/01.01.2023.18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T18:44:51Z","timestamp":1676918691000},"page":"29-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on clinical and economic outcomes in patients with deep second-degree burns"],"prefix":"10.22462","author":[{"name":"Eski\u015fehir Osmangazi University, Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Eski\u015fehir, Turkey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00dcmit","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merve","family":"Akin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Ankara City Hospital, Department of General Surgery, Ankara, Turkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130sa","family":"S\u00f6zen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"S\u00fcleyman Demirel University, Department of General Surgery, Isparata, Turkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murathan Erkent","family":"Erkent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Baskent University, School Of Medicine, Department of General Surgery, Ankara, Turkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sel\u00e7uk","family":"Tatar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Ankara Gaziler Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital, Underwater Medicine and Hyperbaric Medicine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet \u00c7inar","family":"Yasti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Health Sciences University, Department of General Surgery, Ankara City Hospital, Burn Treatment Center","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"9754","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]},"container-title":["Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T18:44:53Z","timestamp":1676918693000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.uhms.org\/uhm-search\/uhm-journal-volume-50-2023\/number-1\/effects-of-hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-on-clinical-and-economic-outcomes-in-patients-with-deep-second-degree-burns.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22462\/01.01.2023.18","relation":{},"ISSN":["1066-2936"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1066-2936","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]}}}
