Recently, the problem of inhalation poisonings, observed as a rule, among children and adolescents who use substances used in household chemicals in order to achieve a euphoric state, has become increasingly important. Such substances have a selective toxic effect and cause tissue changes accompanied by organ and general hypoxia. This is the basis for the use of hyperbaric oxygenation, which has a powerful antihypoxic and disintoxicating effect as a means of pathogenetic therapy in this pathology, as well as psychoenergizing effect in various asthenic disorders.
The aim of the work is to find out the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the clinical course of acute period of intoxication in patients suffering from inhalation toxicomania.
