title: [Indirect electrochemical oxidation of blood in multimodal intensive therapy of pneumonia in critical patients].
abstract: Seventy-five patients with severe pneumonia were treated with sodium hypochlorite solution (intravenous drip in concentration 600 mg/liter). Beneficial effect of the treatment manifested with lowering of body temperature, diminution of tachycardia, leukocytosis, leukocytic intoxication index. The patients recovered 5-7 days earlier, the mortality reduced by 11%. Better clinical parameters were due rather to stimulation of anti-infection defence than to direct detoxication action of sodium hypochlorite on the causative agent and toxic products. The solution is recommended for treatment of critical pneumonia as an effective modality with immunostimulating, antiinfectious and detoxication abilities.
