Influence of smoking of hookah on some indicators of respiratory system in girls of childbearing age

<b>Background:</b> Recently among the youth, especially among the girls, smoking became a fashionable hookah. Since the frequent use of hookah increases the production of free radicals, and thus proved its impact on the reduction of FEV1 by 4.04 times, FVC 1.38 times, FEV1/FVC 3.08 times, which leads to the development of chronic lung disease (COPD), etc. Also in places for smoking hookah the level of carbon monoxide (CO) increased by 5-6 times. Hookah smoke consists mainly of water vapor, which serves as a favorable medium for the transmission of such a microorganism: M. tuberculosis and Herpes simplex. <b>Aim:</b> To study the effects of smoking hookah on some indicators of the cardio-respiratory system in girls of childbearing age. <b>Materials and Methods of Research:</b> To solve the task, we conducted a study in the institution for hookah smoking. The study involved 30 girls aged 25.5±2.1 years, weighing from 57±2.3 kg, from 171±2.5 cm in height and smoking hookah 2 times a week, for 5±1.1 years. <b>Results:</b> It was found that after 30 minutes of smoking hookah the following symptoms of cough with phlegm were observed in girls (3 points); dyspnea (2.6 points); nausea/vomiting (2.4 points); dizziness (3 points); Redness of the eyes (2.6 points). After 60 minutes, an increase in all the studied parameters was observed by a factor of 1.5. In this case, the PEFR level remained in the green zone in - 12(90%) girls, in the yellow zone - 18(10%) girls. <b>Conclusion:</b> Smoking hookah in healthy girls leads to changes in the cardio-respiratory system-the increase in clinical symptoms from the respiratory and cardiovascular system the transition of peak expiratory flow rate indicators to the signal zones.
