[Low-frequency ultrasound in the treatment of acute and chronic suppurative diseases of the lungs and pleura in children].

The maximum exposure and regimens of action of the low frequency ultrasound on the lung and pleura tissue were established in experimental studies. The ultrasound energy was used in the clinic for the complex treatment of 139 patients with acute purulent diseases of the lungs and pleura and in 76 children with chronic bronchopulmonary pathology. High therapeutic effects were achieved which suggests the further application of the method to be fairly promising in children surgery.
