Breathing through increased volumes of «dead» space in the rehabilitation of patients with bronchial asthma, neurocirculatory asthenia, and hypertension

The article summarizes patients’ respiratory rehabilitation experience with bronchial asthma, neurocirculatory asthenia of hypertensive type, and hypertension. The effect on the state of the cardiorespiratory system of respiration through the volume of «dead» space increased to 500– 1000 ml was studied.
