[Changes in the body's oxygen regime in hypothalamic syndromes under the influence of hypoxic mixtures].

A study of the oxygen regimen in the organism of patients with hypothalamic syndromes (vegetative, vascular and neuroendrocrino-metabolic) according to the Lauer and Kolchinskaya method demonstrated that an inhalation of hypoxic mixture containing 15% of oxygen leads to changes in the respiration indices. Such changes were related to circulation, oxygen parameters and indicated an increase of hypoxemia under the influence of this mixture and of a significant drop in the consumption of oxygen by the tissues. This may also speak in favour of an inhibition of activities in the compensatory and adaptational mechanisms. The most expressed inhibitive activity of such mechansims was seen in patients with hypotonic vetetative-vascular syndromes which is most likely connected with a drop of the tone in the neurohormonal system in this group of patients.
