[Results of the Russian EKSPERT program: post-marketing supervision over efficacy and influence of the preparation Ekvator on quality of life at out-patients with arterial hypertension].

Results of an open multicenter prospective postmarketing observational program EKSPERT (post-marketing surveillance of the effectiveness and impact of the EKVATOR treatment on quality of life in patients with arterial hypertension in ambulatory practice). Observation of 10 000 patients conducted in 300 medical center in various regions of the Russian Federation in 1005 doctors. Selected for the final analysis 4954 registration cards.

[Options for remodeling of the right ventricular function during pneumonectomy].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study---a comprehensive assessment of haemodynamic alterations during pneumonectomy using pulmonary arterial volumeter (PAV) opportunities.

Materials And Methods: 72 patients were included in the study, (the average age - 51 +/- 3,8 years, body weight - 68 +/- 7 kg), who underwent pneumonectomy about lung tumors under general anesthesia with separate ventilation (on indications - jet high-frequency ventilaton).

[The role of an objective assessment of the heart right vientricle function for the anesthesiological maintenance and intensive therapy of surgical patients].

Latent dysfunction of the heart right ventricle and hypovolemia were assessed in 50 patients divided into 4 groups, operated on the heart, abdominal aorta and lungs. It was found that after revascularization of the myocardium the diastolic disorders prevailed. In patients operated for the heart valve (mitral and aortal) diseases prevailing were the systolic and pump dysfunction of the right ventricle.

[Intermittent forced ventilation of the lungs with series "PO" IVL apparatus].

The authors suppose that the intermittent ventilation (IMV) may be provided by the connection of an additional respiratory appliance made on the basis of a standard narcosis attachment of "Polynarcon" type with a respirator "PO" and the patient. A specific feature of this modified respiratory appliance is the bellows which fulfiles the function of a reserved capacity for a breath and a damper when in the smoothed out (hung up) state. The intubation tube is fastened to the T-joint adapter of the narcosis attachment (the scheme is shown), the hose being detached from the expiration valve and connected with the respirator T-joint adapter (to the place of the intubation tube).

[The role of partial myocardial revascularization in treatment of elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].

One of the main difficulties in cardiology is how to correctly choose the volume and method of treatment in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease. 165 elderly patients with IHD were included into the study. 83 patients received partial myocardial revascularization by PTCA and stenting and 82 patients were on the conservative medical treatment.
