[The microclimate conditions of the environment for treating patients in hospital clinics and wards (a review)].

Abstract

The problem of the microclimatic parameters of the environment in some clinics and hospital departments is discussed as well as their significance in the general therapeutic course. The impact of the air environment as a potent therapeutic factor is outlined. It is stated that the temperature regime in the rooms must be differentiated in accordance to the climatic conditions, seasons, patient's age, the nosologic group. Discussing the problem with regard to the balance "man-environment" it is outlined that the adaptive capabilities, which are narrowed and altered in the patient, can not compensate for the unfavourable conditions of the environment. The authors point at differentiated values of the microclimatic parameters for the rooms in some clinics and departments.
