[The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in chronic obstructive bronchitis made in outpatient clinic].
General clinical examination, external respiratory function investigation, antrovent pharmacological tests were performed in 68 patients aged 28-52 years with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) admitted to the rehabilitation center after hospital treatment. Hyperbaric oxygenation improved general condition of the patients, normalized excessive free-radical lipid oxidation and antioxidant defense. It also improves the results of combined rehabilitation treatment, bronchial permeability, sensitivity of beta-2 bronchial receptors to sympathomimetics. This allows to reduce doses or discontinue sympathomimetics.
