title: Treatment of patients with pneumonia in critical conditions by means of plasma flow.
abstract: Heat methods open up good perspectives in treatment of different types of pathology. One of the most perspective methods is plasma flow treatment. Due to its unique physical nature, plasma treatment has the potential to become a novel medical technique. The purpose of the study was to determine the possibility of prevention pulmonary diseases and improve the result of treatment of pneumonia in critical medicine by means of plasma flow. The authors observed 10 patients (6 male and 4 female) with pneumonia to evaluate the clinical performance of a heat treatment method. 5-10 sessions of plasma flow therapy has been conducted once or twice a day. The plasma flow was performed on the area of thorax. The results of treatment of pneumonia by means of plasma flows are presented. The research shows perspectives of using plasma flows in treatment of patients with pneumonia. The method is recommended in preventive treatment of patients in critical condition.
