Abstract
Abstract. Introduction. It is commonly known that patients who have been exposed to the coronavirus in the past and are in the recovery stage now, experience deterioration of health-related quality of life, decreased productivity and decrease in cognitive functions, energy and breathing discomfort. Aim. Efficiency analysis of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy for patients with syndrome on outpatient treatment stage of rehabilitation. This article also gives consideration to the management problems of patients who have been exposed to COVID-19 in the outpatient treatment stage. We consider disease process and theoretical determinants for the progress of pathological conditions as the result of earlier disease. Material and methods. 110 outpatients who have been exposed to the coronavirus in the past and treated with hyperbaric oxygenation therapy are included in the research. Results estimation was based on a patient-reported outcomes questionnaire and simple, noninvasive methods, including remote thermography. Results and discussion. The hyperbaric oxygenation method has shown us high efficiency for reducing residual symptoms of COVID-19. Conclusion. Inclusion of hyperbaric oxygenation into Post-COVID-19 rehabilitation program leads to immediate treatment effects, decreasing faintness and fatigability, increasing exercise tolerance, decreasing breathing discomfort, and, as a consequence helping to speed up recovery and getting back to social life and work- related activities.
