  • Title: [Rehabilitation of the pulmonary function of deep-water divers in mid-height mountain climate].
    Author: Ilin VM, Huliar SO.
    Journal: Fiziol Zh (1978); 1993; 39(5-6):33-9. PubMed ID: 8045315.
    Abstract:
    It is shown that the stay of deep-sea divers under high-altitude conditions causes a significant improvement in functional state of their breathing system. The speed and degree of lung ventilatory function restitution under conditions of mountain climate are higher than in other climatic zones. The positive effects of staying in the mountains are stable and are preserved for several months. At the same time the restitution efficiency in the mountains is notably lower when it starts earlier than two weeks after the end of decompression. The early start of mountain rehabilitation before reaching the phase of relative functional stabilization of the organism in the process of readaptation is counterindicated for divers with marked deterioration of middle- and small-calibre bronchi conductivity.
