[Endobronchial use of low-frequency ultrasound and ultraviolet laser radiation in the complex treatment of patients with suppurative bronchial diseases].
The efficiency of endobronchial therapy with low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) and ultraviolet laser radiation (UVLR) were studied in patients with pyoinflammatory diseases of the lung. A hundred and sixty two patients with chronic bronchitis (CB) and bronchoectatic disease (BD) were clinically followed up. The complex treatment of pyoinflammatory diseases of the bronchi was supplemented by endobronchial LFUS in 86 patients, by UVLR in 29. Routine bronchoscopy (without endobronchial application of LFUS and UVLR) was included into the treatment of 47 patients with CB and BD. Bronchoscopy with LFUS and UVLR was found to have a high efficiency in patients unresponsive to drug therapy. The number of bronchoscopies per treatment regimen could be reduced, the time of a remission and the interval of hospitalization were increased.
