[Intermittent hypoxic training in the sanatorium and spa treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
The combined examination and treatment in the course of normobaric interval hypoxic training of 550 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was performed. Characteristics of change of state of functional respiratory system, immunological reactivity, electroencephalography after adaptation to hypoxia in the course of interval hypoxic training were determined. Revealed improvement of oxygen supply on all stages of its transfer and increase of oxygen consumption in tissues resulted in normalization of electrobiological activity of cerebral cortex, correction of immunological reactivity. High efficiency of interval hypoxic training in the combined treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was proved.
