ABSTRACT
Five years (1978 to 1982) of respiratory care data were reviewed to determine the changes in patient charges, hospital costs, and frequency of neonatal blood gas analysis created by the introduction of transcutaneous oxygen monitoring. During the 4 years of transcutaneous oxygen monitoring (1979 to 1982), an estimated $196,000 reduction in patient charges was accomplished. When reduced patient charges were balanced with the increased cost to the hospital for equipment, supplies, and personnel time, a net reduction of more than $100,000 for health care delivery was achieved. Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring is an example of technologic achievement in which society receives both economic and medical benefits.
