[The role of control over microcirculation in millimetric wave therapy of acute destructive pancreatitis]. / Znachenie kontrolia mikrotsirkuliatsii pri millimetrovoi volnovoi terapii ostrogo destruktivnogo pankreatita.

Microcirculatory reaction to millimetric waves (5.6, 7.1 and 4.9 mm) was studied in 78 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis using laser doppler flowmetry. The 4.9 mm waves proved most effective. As such waves have a normalizing effect on capillary blood flow, they can be used at early stages of the disease. The method allows control of individual reaction of the patient to millimetric waves and, therefore, facilitates the decision on its application.
