THE EXPERIENCE OF TREATMENT THE PATIENTS WITH COMPLICATED VIRAL RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS: ROLE OF HIGH-CONCENTRATED OXYGEN INHALATIONS ADDING CAMOMILE OIL.

OBJECTIVE

The aim: To study the clinical manifestations, capillary blood saturation, frequency of respiratory failure in patients with complicated forms of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI).

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and methods: The study included 70 patients with ARVI (mean age was 46.5±9.2 years). Patients observed were randomized into 2 groups. In group 1 (n=30), the only basic therapy was prescribed. In group 2 in addition to the basic therapy the inhalations with high concentrated oxygen with Camomile Oil were used.

RESULTS

Results

It is proved that the use of highly concentrated oxygen with camomile oil in the inhalation treatment regimen significantly reduces the duration of local respiratory symptoms (p<0.001) and symptoms of general intoxication (p<0.001), prolonged hospital stay decreases by an average of 5 days (p<0.001). The relief of symptoms of RF in group 2 was noted for 10 days of hospitalization with an increase in capillary blood saturation (SatO2,%) to 95.2±2.91. Absolute therapeutic efficacy (absolute efficacy) of the correction of RF during complex treatment with the addition of highly concentrated oxygen was 88.0% versus 57.0% in group 1. Relative efficacy (RE) - 0.65 [0.46-0.90], odds ratio (OR) - 0.19 [0.06-0.61], p<0.05. The positive effect of highly concentrated oxygen for local immunity state - the level of secretory immunoglobulin A (p<0.001) and lysozyme (p<0.001) was established.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

High-concentrated oxygen inhalations adding camomile oil is effective in complex treatment at patients with complicated forms of acute respiratory viral infections.
