CORRECTION OF RESPIRATORY FUNCTION OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT USING MEANS OF BAROTHERAPY

Abstract

Purpose: testing the use of hyperbaric rerespiration (HRR) to optimize respiratory function (RF) patients with chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract (CDLRF).Materials and methods: surveyed 52 patients (29 men and 23 women) with CDLRF at the age of 23-55 years. After knocking over the aggravation of the disease (surgery), patients basic group (BG, 38 persons) were made HRR-course: 12-14 procedures of 45-50-min stay under pressure (152 kPa) when breathing through an additional ≪dead≫ space that shaped the terms of hyperoxia and hypercapnia. In the control group (CG, 14 people) held the standard rehabilitation.Results: application of HRR in patients BG was accompanied by significantly greater (p < 0.05) increased volumetric and highspeed RF indicators than in CG. The effects of treatment in patients OG were significantly more resistant and stable.Summary: HRR is an effective and safe method to optimize RF patients with various forms of CDLRF.
