Outpatient rehabilitation of chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases patients in a anti-tuberculosis center

Abstract

Opportunities to give help for chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases (CNPD) patients and to organize a rehabilitation center were found in a pulmonology department of the anti-tuberculosis center № 17. Medical and technical measures were defined to give an effective care for bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive and non-obstructive bronchitis, acute pneumonia and pleurisy patients both specific and nonspecific etiology and in combined pathologies.

Measures of nonspecific intervention to lung tuberculosis process against the antibacterial therapy background were developed.

A patients’ admission to the anti-tuberculosis center № 17 from general medical practice organizations was arranged, so that there are no available medical institutions for treatment and rehabilitation of these patients.

Principal organizing aspects of the patients’ treatment and rehabilitation were determined in order to maintain the sanitation regimen.

The minimal diagnostic set, which is necessary for the treatment, was outlined. The optimal numbers of treatment and rehabilitation procedures were established for different nosologies.

The influence of the complex approach on delayed results of the CNPD patients’ treatment (over 3 -6 -12 months) was assessed.

The treatment and rehabilitation programme with the complex of physical methods was introduced involving exercise training, laser therapy, nebulized therapy, aeroionotherapy, massage, breathing training with a positive pressure at the end of the inspiration.
