Briquette gas poisoning (CO-poisoning) has been one of the most serious public health problems in Korea.
While 137 patients died of the class one and class two infectious disease, 363 patients died of briquette gas poisoning during 1968 period in Seoul. We must try to solve this serious public health problem before and after the fact.
This thesis is concerned with a plan giving prompt and efficient medical service to the CO-poisoning patients after the fact. vice to the CO-poisoning patients after the fact.
Because of the special problem in handling the fluctuating demand for facilities, the instantaneous nature of hospital cares, scheduling a uniform load is not feasible.
Therefore, the facility capacity should be able to cover the patients during peak time.
Ex post facto, Hyperbalic oxygenation is the most effective cure method with the proven recovery rate of 98.7 percent. But it is expensive to operate, and the average rate of utilization is low.
Therefore, a joint utilization of hyperbalic oxygenation facilities through a computer information system is desirable.
The advantages of a joint utilization are as follows :
(1) cutting cost by one third
(2) increasing utilization rate by fourfold
(3) a joint utilization of other medical instruments.
