First aid for acute lung inflammation

Pseudosepsis in Acute Inflammation of the Lung

“…At the same time, the rapid development of the disease is accompanied by reflex generalized vasospasm of the small circle, which manifests itself as a rapid change in systemic blood flow with changes in skin color and temperature, as well as pressure shifts in the arterial and central venous sectors. The presence of generalized pulmonary vascular spasm in the aggressive onset of AP was proved by us more than 30 years ago using the results of comparative tests [23]. Currently, when studying tomograms in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, additional evidence of such a reaction has been obtained and a sharp decrease in blood volume in vessels of a small circle with a diameter of less than 2 mm [24][25][26][27] has been established.…”

“…The success of the work was achieved due to a radical revision of the concept of the disease and the principles of its treatment, which initially had the same interpretation that has been preserved in modern approaches. Pathogenetically sound principles of treatment made it possible to avoid so-called septic complications, which actually have a mechanism of pulmonogenic shock due to the influence of the focus of inflammation, and not its causative agent [23].…”

“…Modern therapeutic measures carried out in sepsis and septic shock in patients with peripheral localization of inflammation have the opposite effect in the case of inflammatory lesions of the lung tissue. All these statements are based not on theoretical assumptions, but on the fundamental materials of medical science, supplemented by the author's own research and, most importantly, the indicative results of practical testing [23]. Therefore, we can speak with such confidence about the need for a radical revision of the concept of the disease and the principles of its treatment.…”

In what Ways Has Modern Medicine Failed to Surpass the Ancient Experience?

“…Some of the ancient methods of first aid in AP were evaluated using comparative objective tests, which allowed us to establish their undoubted pathogenetic effectiveness. Correction of the doctrine of the disease in accordance with the canons of biomedical science and substantiation of pathogenetic principles of medical care in AP have allowed to achieve impressive clinical results, convincingly showing the necessary direction in solving this problem [25]. Currently, the question is not what specific treatment methods should be used in patients with AP, but that misconceptions in the interpretation of the main manifestations of the disease have gone too far and the first inevitable step in solving this problem is not the search for new drugs and therapeutic techniques, but a reassessment of the existing system of views.…”

What provokes constant changes in the etiology of pneumonia?

“…A ready-made example of such a solution can serve as excellent results in the prevention of complications and rapid elimination of the focus of AP, which the author of these lines received when he radically changed his own view of the problem and gave a leading role in the treatment process to timely pathogenetic therapy. 47 This work was carried out at a time when antibiotics still retained their former prestige, and viral pneumonia did not pose the tasks that have appeared today. Unfortunately, emigration delayed further research and earlier publication of data in the public domain.…”
