Mike Bennet and Jorge Gomez-Castillo have recently pubilsed an article in the SPUMS journal (SPUMS J 2005; 35:194-8) about the costs of Hyperbaric Therapy at the Prince of Wales hosital in Sydney.

They calculated that the cost of a single recompression for diving injuries is AUD$ 720 and the total average cost for a course of treatment is AUD$1440. The incremental cost for an additional treatment of a patient with a diving injury is $415.

Dunno that this means anything much to the current debate but it provides an interesting perspective.
