METHOD OF TREATING ACUTE PNEUMONIAS IN DEBILITATED PATIENTS LIVING IN INDUSTRIAL CITIES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N1/06 A61N1/18 A61M15/00 A61K35/50 A61P11/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to pulmonology and physiotherapy, and may be used for treating acute pneumonias in debilitated patients living in industrial cities. That is ensured by 10 daily ultrasonic inhalations of 1% placenta hydrolysate at temperature 35°C for 10 minutes on an empty stomach or 40-60 minutes after meals. The inhalations are followed by the exposure to an ultra-high frequency electric field generated by automatically resonating UHF-80-3 Undaterm apparatus of output power up to 80 Wt, high-frequency oscillation frequency 27.12±0.6 MHz. The UHF exposure covers a patient sitting of a wooden chair. Condenser plates, each of the diameter 180 mm spaced 3 cm are placed on front and back surfaces of a chest above the inflammation centre from each side. An UHF dose is low-heat, has a power of 40-60 Wt; the procedure length is 10 minute; the therapeutic course makes 10 daily procedures. After 30 minutes, the UHF exposure is followed by medicine electrophoresis through 5% placenta hydrolysate applied on one of the temporary spacers. The exposure is generated by Potok-1 apparatus having current intensity 15-20 mA; the procedure length makes 20 minutes; the therapeutic course is 10 daily procedures with the patient lying on back on a bed. Two electrodes of the same size 10x15 cm are placed in a projection of the pathological centre, i.e. the first electrode is placed on the right or on the left on the back, and the second one - on the right or on the left at the front.

EFFECT: providing faster relief of the pathological process in the pulmonary tissue, prevented development of any complication and formation of the pulmonary chronic process, including due to the manifested secretolytic effect, the high effect of bronchial apparatus drainage, normalised immune status of the respiratory mucosa.
