[Use of hypertonic colloid solution in the treatment of heart failure in early postoperative period].

Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the differences in hemodynamic, metabolic and cardiovascular parameters in early postoperative period in hypertonic colloid solution and usual infusion therapy groups.

Material And Methods: The study was blind placebo controlled. Thirty patients were randomly divided into two groups.

[Intrathecal morphine for postoperative analgesia in cardiac surgery].

Objective: The aim of study was to evaluate features for spinal morphine in undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in early postoperative time and side effects of opioids.

Material And Methods: Two groups of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery were analyzed. In first group (15 patients) spinal morphine 2 mg and general anesthesia was used, control group (22 patients) - just general anesthesia.

[Magnesium sulfate usage for patients during cardiopulmonary bypass].

Objective: Our study was performed in order to assess the effects of magnesium sulfate during coronary artery bypass surgery to evaluate whether perioperative intravenous infusion of magnesium, as an adjuvant agent for perioperative analgesia, affects a quality of anesthesia, reduces amounts of anesthetic and muscle relaxing drugs needed, affects adrenaline usage and nitroglycerine during anesthesia.

Methods: We investigated two patient groups, undergoing a coronary artery bypass surgery. Thirty patients (control group) have not received intravenous infusion of magnesium, 31 patients (magnesium group) have received 40 mg/kg of intravenous magnesium sulfate initially and a continuous 500 mg/h infusion during anesthesia.
