Infusion therapy in complex outpatient rehabilitation of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of arteries of the lower extremities

Infusion therapy in the outpatient setting holds the leading role in the treatment of patients with stages IIA and IIB of obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. In order to assess the risk of complications of infusion therapy used was a screening method for the analysis of heart rate variability using a complex of diagnostic functional changes in the cardiac rhythm, «Kardioanalizator “Expert 01”». Identification of patients taking into account the vegetative status according to heart rate variability (sympathetic-, normo- or parasympathotonia) makes it possible to adequately form group and individual rehabilitation programs, to determine the amount and time of treatment procedures, to predict possible complications. Infusion therapy, restoration of macro- and microcirculation is the basis of the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for chronic arterial insufficiency of the extremities. In the implementation of treatment and rehabilitation programs the combination of arterial and venous systems disorders should be taken into account, as well as the need for concurrent correction of these changes.
