METHOD FOR TRAINING PATIENT SUFFERING FROM PULMONARY DISEASE TO MASTER BREATHING MECHANICS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves teaching patient to normalize respiration mechanics with system and organs of influence to breathing process being concurrently normalized. The training is organized dependently on sympathetic and parasympathetic vegetative nervous system division innervation state. Normal innervation of these divisions being the case, breathing in rest state is taught step-by-step when lactate concentration is no greater than 20 mg%, nasal breathing, low abdominal breathing and diaphragmal breathing patterns are taught under inhalation-exhalation ratio being equal to 1:1. When applying moderate physical loads with lactate concentration being not greater than 40 mg%, inhalation-exhalation ratio is equal to 1:1. When applying medium intensity physical loads with lactate concentration being not greater than 70 mg%, nasal or oral breathing, low abdominal, diaphragmal and thoracic breathing patterns are taught with inhalation-exhalation ratio equal to 2:1. When applying heavy intensity physical loads with lactate concentration being greater than 70 mg%, inhalation-exhalation ratio is equal to 2:1, 3;1, 4:1 and 5:1. Sympathetic innervation being predominant, exhalation is accented and/or on pause after the exhalation with inhalation-exhalation ratio and/or exhalation pause being equal to 1:2, 1:3, 1: 4 and 1:5. Parasympathetic innervation being predominant, inhalation is accented and/or on pause before the inhalation with inhalation-exhalation and/or inhalation pause ratio being equal to 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1. Respiratory minute volume is brought to norm at the following training stage when blood pH is equal to 7,4±0,05,. The pH being greater than 7.45, respiratory minute volume is brought down to normal value. The value being less than 7.35, respiratory minute volume is increased to normal value. Then, perfusion-ventilation debit is normalized, when ratio of breathing frequency to heart beat rate is equal to 1:5 under any physical loading mode and in rest state. EFFECT: accelerated recovery from pulmonary diseases.
