[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of patients with vibration disease due to local exposure]. / Giperbaricheskaia oksigenatsiia v lechenii bol'nykh vibratsionnoi bolezn'iu, obuslovlennoi lokal'nym vozdeistviem.

Results are reported of treatment of 69 patients with vibration disease (VB) using hyperbaric oxygenation. Treatment course--10 sessions with an exposition of 40 minutes in the main regimen. Tests for choice of treatment regimens (1.3, 1.5, 1.8 atm.) were the dynamics of subjective and objective clinical signs, indices of the peripheral hemodynamics and thermoregulation. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in persons with signs of vibration effects (preclinical stage) using a working pressure of 1.3 atm is justified. Presence of clinical manifestations of the disease (grade I-II degree of VB severity) justifies increase of the dose of hyperbaric oxygen to 1.5 atm.

[The results of the combined treatment of patients with dust-induced bronchitis]. / O rezul'tatakh kompleksnogo lecheniia bol'nykh pylevym bronkhitom.

A study in 84 patients with dust-induced bronchitis receiving combined drug treatment, hyperbaric oxygenation, hypobarotherapy and artificial speleotherapy indicates that the first place by its efficacy is occupied by artificial speleotherapy resulting in an improvement of the functional indices of the cardiopulmonary system. The second place is occupied by hypobaric regimen. Hyperbaric oxygenation was of low efficacy.

[The use of hyperbaric oxygenation for the treatment of patients with pneumoconiosis and pulmonary heart failure]. / Primenenie giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii dlia lecheniia bol'nykh pnevmokoniozom s legochno-serdechnoi nedostatochnost'iu.

Examination of 76 patients with pneumoconiosis (stage I) revealed that hyperbaric oxygenation is increasing the force of cardiac contractions, reduction of the general peripheral resistance and reduction of the lesser circulation hypertension. The therapeutic action of hyperbaric oxygenation is related to its ability to remove the sequels of oxygen.

[Evaluation of the factors providing the oxygen regimen to tissues in miners with vibration disease receiving combined therapy with a course of hyperbaric oxygenation]. / Otsenka faktorov, obespecheniia kislorodnogo rezhima tkanei gornorabochikh, bol'nykh vibratsionnoi bolezn'iu, pri kompleksnoi terapii s kursom giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii.

In 4 patients with vibration disease hyperbaric oxygenation was included in the complex treatment and this resulted in an increase of blood supply to the extremity, increase of vascular reactivity, reduction of the peripheral vascular resistance. Inverse dependence of the hyperbaric oxygenation treatment and severity of vibration disease was found that was mainly determined by the initial lever of the peripheral hemodynamics.
