METHOD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SPUTUM EXPECTORATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61N5/67 A61N7/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pulmonology, and can be applied for treatment of patients with bronchoobstructive diseases to improve sputum expectoration. Complex impact, which includes laser and ultrasonic therapy, carried out at the background of standard therapy, is realized. Ultrasonic therapy is realised on the same day with laser therapy. First, ultrasonic therapy is performed, influencing two paravertebral fields in chest area for two minutes for each. Frequency of vibrations is 880 kHz, intensity is 0.4 W/cm². Then, laser therapy is performed. Device "LASMIC" with matrix laser head ML01K (ML-904-80) is applied. Impact is realised in contact way on five fields: Krenig field on the right, Krenig field on the left, on medium line of area of medium third of sternum, projection of right adrenal gland and projection of left adrenal gland. Each field is exposed to impact for 100 seconds in the following mode: pulse power 50 W, pulse repetition rate: 1 procedure - 80 Hz, 2 procedure - 500 Hz, 3 - 1500 Hz, 4 - 3000 Hz, the remaining procedures - 10000 Hz, on projection of adrenal glands - maximal frequency 3000 Hz. Course of complex impact constitutes 8-10 procedures.

EFFECT: method ensures improvement of sputum expectoration and increase treatment efficiency of patients with bronchoobstructive diseases due to anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, antispasmodic, defibrosing effects, enhancement of microcirculation, achieved by combined application of ultrasonic therapy and laser irradiation.
