The results of the use of therapeutic "dry" immersion (LSI) in the complex therapy of 10 patients with refractory edematous syndrome of various etiologies are presented, and the effect of the method on some indicators of central hemodynamics is studied. It has been established that LSI sessions lasting from 2 to 6 hours potentiate the action of diuretic drugs and help compensate for the condition of patients. LSI session has a positive effect on central hemodynamic parameters.
