exercise (SpO2) from 91±2% to 98±2% (p≤0.0001), the lymphocytes count from 27±0.7% to 38.2±0.5% (p≤0.0001), the partial oxygen tension (PvO2) from 27.5±0.07 mm Hg, to 39.7±0.11 mm Hg. (p≤0.0001), venous blood saturation (SvO2) from 50±0.4 to 58±0.2% (p≤0.05), capillary blood oxygen partial tension (PcО2) from 48.7±0.05 mmHg to 60.2±0.07 mm Hg (p≤0.01), capillary blood saturation with (ScO2) 80.1±0.3% to 88±0.2% (p≤0.01) were detected. CONCLUSION: Inhalation therapy of AFH (H(H2O)m) in the rehabilitation program of medical staff who have undergone COVID-19 and have manifestations of postcovid syndrome has proved to be a safe and highly effective therapeutic method. Positive impact was noted in diminishing of chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, increasing tolerance to physical activity, and improving sleep quality , decreased endothelial dysfunction; from laboratory tests, a positive effect was noted from biomarkers of systemic inflammation, lactate metabolism, right-to-left pulmonary shunt ratio and other indicators of chronic hypoxemia. KEYWORDS: hydrogen, active form of hydrogen (H(H2O)m), COVID-19, postcovid syndrome, rehabilitation, lactate, oxygen transport, silent hypoxemia
