[Postoperative complications and criteria of their identification].

A postoperative complication is considered as a secondary process conditioned by the peculiarities of pathogenesis of the primary disease, or as a new disease which develops resulting from diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Timely diagnosis and adequate treatment, and advanced training of physicians as well contribute to reduction in the number of postoperative complications.

[The quality standards of patient treatment in hospital departments].

Standards have been compiled on the basis of the clinical picture of the disease as well as objective, laboratory, instrumental-apparatus data. The dynamics of the patient's health were evaluated using concrete indices--normalization or reduction by 10-30% of the initial systolic pressure, absence of painful sensations, increase of range of articular movements, normalization of body temperature, blood indices, urine and oth. Treatment quality values were determined by comparison of results to the preplanned and are evaluated by a three-point rate--good, fair, poor.
