[State of prostaglandin system in adolescents with the hypotensive type vegetovascular dysfunction during hyperbaric...

As many as 185 adolescents with hypotensive type vegetovascular dysfunction who ranged between 11 to 14 years old were studied for impact of a conventional treatment and that involving the use of hyperbaric oxygenation on the blood content of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha. The control group was 69 essentially healthy adolescents of the same age. Before the start of the treatment those persons presenting with hypotensive type vegetovascular dysfunction revealed an increase in prostaglandins E2 and decline in prostaglandins F2 alpha. There was no change in this trend with the conventional therapy. Owing to hyperbaric oxygenation, the above classes prostaglandins recovered their normal balance, which fact promoted reversal of clinical symptoms of the condition. The results secured permit recommending hyperbaric oxygenation as an efficient mode of treatment of hypotensive type vegetovascular dysfunction in juvenile subjects.
