Effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia on gastric and duodenal mucosa in man]

Clinical and laboratory examinations of 11 patients with peptic ulcer have shown that combined treatment using sessions of intermittent normobaric hypoxytherapy (10% of oxygen in 90% of nitrogen, length of respiration is 7 min., respiration of free air 3 min., such 6 cycles for 1 hour) promotes healing of ulcers, decreases dyspepsic and astheno-neurotic symptoms of disease. The method can be recommended for treating the patients with peptic ulcer and for preventing seasonal acute attacks in patients with relapses of this disease.
