Procedure, where the gas in the hypodermis accumulates - hypodermis emphysema appears. The gas is distributed in substantial distance. It disappears in couple of minutes, few hours is the maximum. From the hypodermis the gas is removed by means of vein circulation. It results local changes on the skin, its temperature increase and it has analgetic effect.
Hypodermal effects of carbon dioxide:
Increase of partial pressure of carbon dioxide and reduction of pH can support releasing the oxygen out of the oxyhemoglobine (oxygenated blood tinction)
reduction of pH in the hypoderm to the value of 6,8 and košer results in permeability increase of capillary
reduction of pH below the value of 6,5 results in increasing flexibility and limiting the strength of originally minimum extensible collagen tissues (ligament).
Distant effects of carbon dioxide:
carbon dioxide is strong peripheral vasodilator
stimulates vasomotoric centrum and vasomotoric centres in spinal cord
evokes reflective stimulation through the chemoreceptor
enlarges coronary vessels, improves vascular of heart muscle, increases its tonus and circulation rate
irritates vagus and evokes bradycardia, blood pressure drop
Indications for gas injection treatment:
ischemic diseases of lower limbs
peripheral vessel diabetic syndrome
vasoneurosis
postphlebitic syndrome, crural ulcers
ischemical heart disease with angina pectoris syndrome
degenerative joint and spine diseases with painful syndrome
periarthritis humeroscapularis (inflammation of tissue surrounding joints)
lumbago a sacralgie (back pains), eventually of gynaecologic nature
