The role of sanatorial treatment of bronchial asthma patients in the rehabilitational measures complex

Abstract

In the article, aspects of the sanatorial treatment efficacy that is valuable in the rehabilitational measures complex during bronchial asthma (BA) are discussed. According to data of sanatorial physicians based on parameters of the clinical course of the disease, respiratory function, and data of the inflammational process activity in the bronchial tree, the most of patients with BA were discharged with relief. In conditions of the Kislovodsk sanatorium, the relief was observed in 90.8—98.4% of the patients while remission may be durated near 7.6 months. In 60—70% of the patients the vital capacity increased in 380±20.7 ml, the maximal voluntary ventilation increased in 14.6±2 1, and FEV₁ increased in 320±17.5 ml. The normalization of the cholinergic system as the increase of the cholinestherase level 245.8±7. to 254.8±12.1 mkM/hml, p<0.05 promoted to the respiration activation. It was noted, that in 64% of the arriving to the Kislovodsk sanatorium persons the level of IgE and the level of IgG decreased to 217 KI/1 and 1014±25. mg/% respectively.

The obtained data testify about the increase of the natural resistance of the organism that assisted the most of patients with BA in the favorable course of the disease and in successful acclimatization. These data pointed to the availability of direction to the sanatorium of patients with early signs of the disease such as predasthma or non pulmonary allergy forms complicated with the occupational harm and cold.
