[Indicators of the sympathetico-adrenal system in patients with peritonitis after hyperbaric oxygenation]

Hyperbaric oxygenation was used in 32 patients with acute peritonitis and terminal phases of the disease. Changes in the sympatho-adrenal system indices in the blood and excretion of catecholamines with urine during HBO course were investigated. The general pool of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the blood was shown to decrease, their excretion with urine to increase. Normalization of biosynthesis of precursors under the influence of HBO sessions was found.
