[The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the rheologic properties of the blood and its coagulation and anticoagulation system in patients with diabetic angiopathy of the lower extremities].

In 24 patients with III degree diabetic angiopathy of the lower extremities, the changes in rheologic properties of the blood, its coagulative and anticoagulative system under the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation were studied. Hyperbaric oxygenation facilitates the rapid normalization of rheologic properties and general coagulative activity of the blood. Anticoagulative blood system is activated insufficiently, especially fibrinolysis, and that is why it is necessary to prescribe heparin to the patients, and at the necrotic stage, fibrinolysin as well.
