Abstract
A new procedure has been developed for prevention of early postresectional complications and for clinical rehabilitation of patients with tuberculosis after surgical interventions. The procedure is based on a 13-14-day course of regional and systemic physiotherapy applied to a patient's respiratory organs and chest after surgery in a certain order with the use of tuberculostatic agents. Regional physiotherapy includes local massage of the root of the contralateral operated lung with a light vibromassage apparatus; systemic physiotherapy involves electric vibroacupressure of the whole circumference of the chest with a special device. Early postresection complications were significantly less frequently observed in the study group (n = 60) than in the control group (n = 50) (p < 0.01). The procedure reduces the likelihood of development of a number of pleuropulmonary events (atelectasis, non-specific pneumonia, residual postresection pleural cavity, bronchial fistulas) and promotes functional rehabilitation in patients.
