Optimization of Clinical Application of Interval Hypoxic Training

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

To improve the efficiency and acceptability of the hypoxia training procedures, a new method of interval hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) is suggested. This method uses hyperoxic rather than normoxic intervals between hypoxic gas breathing sessions. During these periods, the patient inhales through a mask gas mixture containing 30-40% O2. Switching between hypoxia and hyperoxia phases and adjustment of their durations is performed using the principle of biofeedback, which allows the individual patient’s sensitivity to hypoxia to be taken into account. In pilot placebo-controlled clinical trials, the efficiency (improved exercise tolerance, hypoxic resistance, normalization of lipid status), safety, and tolerability of individually adjusted IHHT were demonstrated.
