Complex medical rehabilitation and physiotherapy in patients with acute pneumonia

Abstract

Cumulating literature data and own studies the authors define the role of physical methods in complex rehabilitation treatment of patients with acute pneumonia. These methods choice is based on the clinical pathogenetical analysis of process course evolution, its syndromologic characterics. Physiotherapeutic methods supplement and potentiate ethyotropic treatment. During the bacterial agression phase, the positive action on the infiltration forming syndrome is provided by aerosol inhalational sanation of bronchi. The antiinflammatory treatment as well UHF, inductoheating, microwaves, peloid therapy, laser radiation are nessesary for the later resolve of the infiltrate. During the morphologic recovery and the reconvalescence stage, the antiinflammatory physiotherapy continues. The bronchial obstruction syndrome persistention is the cause for ultrasonic therapy, euphilline phonophoresis, and ozokerit application use. The astcnic vegetatic impairments syndrome in reconvalescents is the cause for halvanic collar, electric sleep, electric analgesia, and hydrotherapy use. The out-patient’s clinic (the department of rehabilitational therapy) is the main place of rehabilitation of reconvalescents with acute pneumonia. The lingering and complicated course of acute pneumonia causes the necessity of sanatorial rehabilitation both in local and cimatic sanatoriums with later dispanserization during the year.
