“Method of treating hemohypocarbia”

Author (authors): Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko
Patent Holder: same
Application N 762071
Priority of invention of January 29, 1962
Registered in the USSR Government Register of Inventions on September 15, 1983

PATENT DISCLOSURE
This invention relates to methods of therapy for low carbon dioxide level in bronchial asthma. What is known today are medication methods [1] of bronchial asthma therapy with the average therapy course of 15 days or more. These methods are time-consuming and, above all, mytoxically dangerous. The purpose of this invention is to reduce the length of therapy. In the claimed hemohypocarbia therapy method this is achieved via decreasing the volumes of lung ventilation, monitoring the carbon dioxide level in the exhaled air and maintaining its increase rate at 3-7 mm Hg per day in order to reach the value of 45-55 mm Hg.
The method works as follows.
The level of carbon dioxide in the exhaled air is measured, and if it is below physiologically normal (45-55 mm Hg), breathing is reduced to provide its increase rate of 3-7 mm Hg a day.
A specific example.
Serezha G., 9 years old, has the initial pCO2 equal to 22.4 mm Hg. Within the 10-minutes time, breath reduction cuts short a bronchial asthma attack. While the carbon dioxide level increase rate is maintained at 3-7 mm Hg, the carbon dioxide level in the exhaled air reaches 45.6 mm Hg within four days. The breathing depth reduces by 270 ml, minute ventilation of the lungs v by 15.7l, and attacks basically stop.
Beside that, this invention may be used for therapy for other hemohypocarbic ailments. The length of the conventional and the claimed method treatment and the recovery rate for both are given in the following table.

Disease
(most frequent)
Number of Patients Length of therapy Recovery Rate
Conventional Claimed Conventional Claimed
High Blood Pressure 25 More than 1 year 2-8 weeks zero 21
Stenocardia 15 More than 1 year 2-8 weeks zero 12
Bronchial Asthma 128 More than 1 year 2-8 weeks zero 105
Total 168 138

This invention provides a 3-5-fold reduction in the bronchial asthma therapy length, drug-free treatment and consecutive absence of medication side-effects, the long-term remission and return of patients to their normal lifestyle.

Claims:
1. A method of hemohypocarbia therapy wherein the volumes of lung ventilation are reduced, carbon dioxide level in the exhaled air is monitored, and its increase rate is maintained at 3-7 mm Hg a day to reach 45-55 mm Hg with the purpose of reduction of therapy length for, e.g. bronchial asthma.

PATENT DISCLOSURE

This invention relates to medicine and may be used for pulmonary system therapy. The purpose of this invention is to facilitate the method while maintaining precision. The method is performed as follows. The sitting patientss expiratory capacity is timed after a 5-10 minute rest. The level of carbon dioxide is then detected in accordance with the formula
P=P0+KT,
where P is the percentage of CO2 in the alveolar air; P0 is the 3.5 minimum percentage of CO2 in the alveolar air; K=0.05 is the dependency ratio between the level of CO2 and the breath-holding time, and T is the maximum breath-holding time.
Example 1. Patient V., 32 years old. Diagnosis: bronchial asthma. CO2 level detection is performed 6 times after a 3-minute march in place and post-marching rest for 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 12 minutes. The results are given in Table 1.
Example 2. Patient R., 48 years old. Diagnosis: chronic bronchitis. The level of CO2 in the alveolar air was detected similarly. The results are given in Table 2.

Breath normalization time for patient V. was 6 min, and for patient R. it was 10 min.

Claims:
1. A method for detection of CO2 level in the alveolar air by examination of the respiratory system values, wherein the purpose of method facilitation is achieved by stopwatch timing of the patient’s maximum respiratory capacity after a 5-10 minute rest, and the level of CO2 is detected in accordance with the following formula:
P=P0+KT,
where P is the percentage of CO2 in the alveolar air; P0 is the 3.5 minimum percentage of CO2 in the alveolar air; K=0.05 is the dependency ratio between the level of CO2 and the breath-holding time, and T is the maximum breath-holding time.

Abstract: The method of psycho-emotional self-regulation based on the conscious regulation of breath, is that mastering the conscious regulation of breath, which before the start of training the patient is explained the damage due to deep breathing and biomechanics of respiration at rest and in motion, then the breath holding time test until light air hunger is doneto determine the level of air of carbon dioxide in the lungs, and on it – the need to adjust the breath, then in the state sitting the patient starts training, suggesting that he purposefully applies efforts to switch off from work, to relax their respiratory muscles – the muscles of the face at first, the shoulder muscles of the waist and upper chest muscles – and then through the diaphragm and willed her to relax until feeling the shortage of air and the appearance of effuse all over his body heat and rest, and then offer the patient to focus his attention in the solar plexus to the sensations in her heat and low gravity, with each training session held during 20-30 mines and on its end again determine the level of carbon dioxide in the lungs, noting an increase in the rate of pause delay 4-6 s, and let it gradually in the process of training up to 20-30 s, is different in that after mastering the conscious regulation of breath to go psychoemotional self-regulation based on it, starting with its development of awareness of patients in group 3 to 7 people with the data of modern neuro-and psychophysiology, and paying special attention to the formation of unnatural understanding of negative emotions in the soul of man and the need for constant monitoring of their conscious psycho-emotional state in order to prevent their external expression, practical psychoemotional start from achieving self-sustained continuous shortage of air, accompanied by a general heating of the body and the appearance of heat and gravity in the solar plexus, then move to achieve total mental rest with full production of mental flow and maximum muscular relaxation, explaining patients need to move the energies of breath, concentrated at the solar plexus, the energy center, anatomic projection of which corresponds to the middle of the chest from the outside and light inside the root, which must be mentally “enter inside ourselves” in the solar plexus at the time of the automatic pausing of breath, t.f. at the maximum long-term relaxation diaphragm, and then offer the patient a mental focus of his attention on the root of light inside and reach the area the appearance of increasing the heat, gradually filling the space of the chest and effuse all over the body and remain in this state not less than 40 minutes to reach full emotional relaxation, deep peace, a sense of comfort and joy, before and after scale measure efficiency, the training carried out at least 2 times a day, while maintaining their awareness of breathing in the solar plexus, and taking part in the regulation of the respiratory muscles, and increase the effect of self-introspection by the external division to focus its attention on the part of himself as a “view from the side.”
