Baths stimulate the function of the respiratory center, increasing alveolar ventilation and improves bronchial patency. Kislorodoterapii improves the function of blood, accelerates the dissociation of oxyhemoglobin in the tissues, reduces blood pressure and decreases total peripheral vascular resistance, which reduces the load on the cardiovascular system.
Carbon dioxide content is from 20 to 60 percent by volume, the temperature of the air-steam mixture is usually 36-38 C. the Duration of treatment for 15-20 min. Can be used for children older than 5 years.
