The use of normobaric interval hypoxia-hyperoxic training in patients at the inpatient stage of postcovid rehabilitation
The polysystemic damage of the human body by the Covid-19 coronavirus infection with its high virulence, the presence of severe forms of the disease, and the individual mechanism of the pathogenesis of the disease revealed the need for urgent development of new methods of drug therapy and non-drug rehabilitation. The presence of slowly fading consequences, referred to as “postcovid syndrome”, led to the need for post-therapeutic rehabilitation for patients with impaired body functions due to Covid-19 infection in the post-infectious period, which is an urgent direction in medical science and practice. In addition to the basic drug therapy, the individual rehabilitation treatment plan included the hypoxic-hyperoxic training of the pulmonary system, carried out with the help of an innovative Russian-made device “HYPO-OXY-1” (“OXYTERRA”). The inclusion in the rehabilitation process of patients with the poskovid syndrome of normobaric interval hypo-hyperoxic training in dynamics showed a positive effect on the disappearance of symptoms of chronic pulmonary insufficiency, due to an increase in oxygen saturation of the bronchopulmonary system, overcoming fatigue, reducing and disappearing unpleasant pain sensations, increasing exercise tolerance, reducing vegetative imbalance and anxiety.
