title: [Use of a "dry" immersion method in the treatment of hypertensive crisis].
abstract: The effect of so-called dry immersion on hypertensive patients during hypertensive crisis was investigated. It was demonstrated that after 90-minute immersion blood pressure fell due to beneficial hemodynamic and hormonal changes. This therapeutic method produced a sedative and diuretic effect. The above method of non-drug therapy proves highly effective in the treatment of hypertensive crises of different types, produced no side effects and can be used in a hospital as a cost-effective procedure.
