METHOD FOR ASSESSING BODY COMPENSATORY RESPONSE TO ACUTE HYPOXIA

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely functional diagnostics of an individual's health status, and can be used to state the body readiness for adaptation alteration accompanying acute hypoxia. That is ensured by placing the patient horizontally on his/her back with his/her arms along the torso and back of the hands down. That is followed by a computed infrared imaging diagnosis of the most remote from the patient's heart finger cushion. An initial temperature of the finger cushion is measured. A nose and lips are held by fingers, and the patient's breath is held. If the temperature of the finger cushion decreases by 0.1°C from the initial value over less than 15 seconds, the early body response to acute hypoxia is stated. If the period of time from the breath holding to the temperature decrease by 0.1°C is more than 15 seconds, the late body compensatory response to acute hypoxia is stated.;EFFECT: method provides the safe and fast assessment of the body compensatory response to acute hypoxia by the timely detection of a local hypothermia as a reflex body compensatory response to minimum hazardous hypoxia and/or hypoxemia.;1 ex
