    Abstract:
    Curative effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia created when breathing in gaseous hypoxic mixture containing 10% of oxygen and 90% of nitrogen has been examined in 41 patients with hypertonic disease. Adaptation to hypoxia has been studied for its effect on the central hemodynamics psychoemotional state and kinetics of oxygen supply of the skin. The pronounced positive effect of treatment was achieved in 70.7% of patients, the arterial pressure decreasing at the expense of different mechanisms depending on the type of blood circulation. Besides, a decrease in the emotional tension of patients and normalization of oxygen consumption and transport were observed.
