An experimental method of treatment of coronavirus infection was used in the Moscow Ambulance. Sklifosovsky. We are talking about hyperbaric oxygenation – the organism of the organism by air with the help of increased pressure in hermetic barocamera. It is noted that after such sessions in patients, shortness of breath decreases and overall health improves. However, the new COVID-19 therapy technique works and what dangers she tatt, – in …

Doctors told about the danger of the barocamera for the treatment of COVID-19

In the Moscow State Affairs to them. Sklifosovsky first began to apply the experimental methodology for the treatment of coronavirus infection using hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO, the organism saturation in the barocamera – "Gazeta.Ru"). This is reported on the official portal of the mayor and the government of the capital.

It is noted that after sessions in patients, overall health improves, shortness of breath decreases and the oxygen content in the blood increases.

"In addition, hyperbaric oxygen enhances the effect of antiviral and antibacterial therapy, and also reduces its side effects. All this contributes to the recovery of patients, "added in the message. According to the portal, the research institutes them. Sklifosovsky spent more than a hundred COVID-19 COVID-19.

As "Gazeta.Ru" explained by the Pulmonologist Rustem Rustem Rushetdinov, in the course of this procedure, the person is placed in a hermetic capsule, in which an active saturation of the organism occurs due to an increase in pressure.

"The barocamera creates conditions under which the maximum amount of air can fall into the lungs. After all, with a coronavirus, the number of functioning pulmonary tissue decreases, and the remaining lively tissue has to take over the entire burden, "the Medic noted.

In addition, in this case, oxygen comes not only through a breathable part of the lungs, but also directly through the skin of the patient, which allows you to saturate blood outside the lungs, the doctor of private medical practice, immunologist Vladimir Bolyibok in a conversation with the publication "Kommersant" stressed.

He added that the GBO is also a good tool for activating the immune system. "In order for the cells of the immune system to work, the virus began to" eat ", destroy it in the body, they need oxygen, that is, it is, among other things, also immunomodulation," said Medic.

The procedure lasts 30-40 minutes – immediately after it it becomes better, but after a day it is necessary to repeat the procedure again, I told the doctor of medical sciences, the pulmonologist Alexander Karabinenko RIA Novosti. "A person cannot be in the barocamera constantly, therefore it is only temporary support for the body," he clarified.

Rustem Rustetdinov also told Gazeta.Ru, which previously HBO was most often used in research institutes and during the preparation of the military."It was resorted to it when people were in extreme conditions for pressure and gases. And in principle, if a person has a COVID-19 of a severe degree, it is about the same state, "the pulmonologist emphasized.

"When coronavirus, the task of this procedure is to try to avoid the patient's transfer to the artificial ventilation of the lungs (IVL). GBO sessions are held in the complex with another therapy, "said the director of the Institute, a member of the Clinical Committee to combat COVID-19 Sergey Petrikov Portal Mos.ru.

At the same time, as Vladimir Bolyibok explained, the sessions in the barocamera are distinguished from IVL in the fact that with artificial ventilation of the lungs, a very small positive pressure is used, since otherwise the pulmonary fabric can break. At the same time, with HBO, the increased pressure literally "presses" oxygen into the blood of a person, but does it evenly, not traumating the lungs.

At the same time, the Researcher of the Department of Profitology of the Moscow Regional Research Institute. Vladimir, the pulmonologist Alexei Nikishovkov in a conversation with the newspaper.ru clarified that this procedure cannot replace the IVL. "It will also not replace antiviral and pathogenetic (aimed at eliminating the mechanisms of development of the disease -" Gazeta.Ru ") therapy," he added.

The doctor stressed that HBO is not as safe as it may seem, – she has a lot of contraindications. "Among them, epilepsy, hypertensive disease, various swollen, circulatory disruption in the brain," said Nikishchekov.

Also, such treatment is contraindicated and people who poorly carry pressure changes, Alexander Karabinenko said.

"If a person has become bad during the procedure, it is impossible to get it right away, because blood will boil like a diver: if it is quick to raise it from the depths, it boils blood, and he dies from the pressure drop."

In addition, earlier acute respiratory diseases were also listed among restrictions on the hyperbaric oxygenation, mentioned in a conversation with "newspaper.ru" Alexey Nikishchekov. "Therefore, treatment of coronavirus infection in this method is experimental. Previously, he was not recommended for ORVI and including in the acute development of pneumonia, "the expert explained.

According to the pulmonologist Rusthem Rushetdinov, talking about the effectiveness of the barocamera in the treatment of COVID-19, it is still early – it needs to be proved scientifically. "The study of the effectiveness of this method is aggravated by the fact that the barocamera is a rare piece. They are not so much across the country, there are no such small cities in some small cities, "the Medic noted.

In turn, Nikishovkov is confident that HBO can show its effectiveness not only with coronavirus infection therapy, but also during recovery from it. "This procedure may take its place on a number of other rehabilitation methods such as, for example, respiratory gymnastics," the expert concluded.
