New technologies of haloaerosoltherapy at asthmatic patients

Speleotherapy - is the method of treatment in conditions of mines and karst caves microclimate. At 40-50-th this method have begun to develop in Germany, Austria and Italy. Later at the 60-th years speleotherapy was put in to practice in East Europe (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania). The high efficiency of this method of treatment at bronchial asthma (BA) patients is proved

Efficiency of haloaerosol Therapy in Rehabilitative Treatment in Cases of Children with Recurrent Respiratory Diseases

Aim: To study the ef f ectiveness of complex rehabilitation treatment with using Haloaerosol therapy in cases of children with recurrent respiratory diseases, immediate and long-term results, based on of external respiration function investigation and metabolic status. materials and methods: We examined 37 patients aged 7-11 years with recurrent respiratory diseases out the acute period. Before and at the end of the treatment, spirometry was performed, biochemical parameters were analyzed, which determine the state of the lipid peroxidation system and antioxidant protection. Rehabilitation treatment was performed according to two complexes, which included physical therapy and physical physiotherapy. In addition, the second treatment complex included haloaerosol therapy, which involves staying in a haloaerosol environment with a certain (35 mg/m3 - 40 mg/m3) concentration of rock salt aerosol. Results: Rehabilitation treatment based on haloaerosol therapy in children with recurrent respiratory diseases leads to an increase in spirometry tests, reducing the imbalance of the lipid peroxidation system, antioxidant protection. The ef f ectiveness is conf i rmed in the long-term period, because during the year after treatment the frequency and duration of acute episodes were decreased, the number of days during which the child did not attend school decreases (from 30.35±2.39 to 16.90±1.44 days; p<0.001) too. These changes were less pronounced in the children from comparation group. Conclusions: Children with recurrent respiratory disease need rehabilitation treatment. Preference should be given on complexes with the inclusion of haloaerosol therapy, which have direct af f ects on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and indirect − have reduces of endogenous intoxication manifestations
