POSSIBILITIES OF APPLYING PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT METHODS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PREVENTION OF RESTRICTIONAL DISORDERS OF EXTERNAL RESPIRATORY IN PATIENTS AFTER BREAST ENDOPROSTHETICS
Abstract
Introduction. Implantation of foreign silicone implants during breast replacement is accompanied by structural and functional changes in the surrounding tissues. Developing chronic inflammation, fibrosis, severe pain and the compression effect of the implant lead to severe restrictive disorders of external respiration functions, reducing the patient’s quality of life in the postoperative period. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is to use an electromagnetic field with a frequency of 448 kHz. Purpose of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic methods of influence as methods for the prevention of restrictive disorders of external respiration in patients after breast replacement. Materials and methods. The study is based on the results of a survey of 89 females who underwent breast replacement with silicone implants. All women were divided into 4 groups, taking into account the approach to the use of physiotherapy. The study assessed respiratory rate, vital capacity, forced vital capacity, formed expiratory volume in the first second, and peak expiratory volumetric flow rate. Results. It was found that all patients in the early postoperative period had impairment of external respiratory function by an average of 30% of the reference values. The combined use of electrophysiological effects and botulinum toxin made it possible to reduce the frequency of identified respiratory system disorders. By the 7th day of treatment, the frequency of shortness of breath, as well as the magnitude of the deviation from the norm of vital capacity of the lungs, forced vital capacity of the lungs and forced expiratory volume were less, respectively, by 12.3 times, 6.4 times, 8.7 times. 8.1 times compared to control. Conclusion. A set of preventive measures, including electrophysiological therapy, can significantly increase the efficiency of restoration of external respiratory functions in patients after breast replacement in the first week after surgery.
