  • Title: [Effectiveness of hypoxic therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
    Author: Borukaeva IKh.
    Journal: Vopr Kurortol Fizioter Lech Fiz Kult; 2009; (2):16-8. PubMed ID: 19514297.
    Abstract:
    The search for non-medicamentous therapeutic modalities for the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a challenging problem in pulmonology. Properly adjusted adaptation to hypoxia in the course of normobaric interval hypoxic training (IHT) can be successfully applied to the prevention and the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because it produces neither side effects nor complications. Better understanding of pathogenic mechanisms of action of interval hypoxic training will allow to more extensively exploit this method for the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prevent the most undesirable complications of hypoxic therapy by choosing its most optimal variants.
