METHOD FOR TREATING LOWER EXTREMITY EDEMAS IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM POSTTHROMBOPHLEBIC DISEASE

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying hyperbaric oxygenation treatment subjecting the injured extremity to excessive pressure and atmospheric pressure cycles. Positive pressure magnitude is equal to 0.04 kg/sq. cm, and action duration is 15 s. Surrounding medium pressure cycle duration is equal to 2 s. The total session duration is equal to 40 min. The treatment is carried out in oxygenation pressure chamber at 1.3 kg/sq.cm. Treatment number is 7 to 10 once a day in daily schedule. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; improved microcirculation conditions; eliminated unpleasant feeling in the extremity and edema progress.
