Methods of non-medicamental therapy for the correction of oxidative stress and tissue hypoxia in patients presenting with bronchial asthma complicated by pulmonary hypertension

This work was designed to study characteristics of oxidative stress, anti-oxidative activity, and tissue hypoxia in 35 patients presenting with bronchial asthma complicated by chronic pulmonary heart disease. They were given basal therapy or its combination with ozonotherapy and administration of bishofite by electrophoresis. Analysis of the results of the combined treatment demonstrated positive dynamics of the ventilation-perfusion relationships in the lungs, the anti-oxidative system, and tissue hypoxia. The beneficial changes were especially pronounced in the group of patients managed by ozonotherapy; they were less apparent in patients treated with bishofite electrophoresis.
