Blood coagulation and fibrinolysis were studied in 34 patients with diffuse peritonitis treated in intensive care wards of common profile. Forced ventilation of the lungs was carried out for 2-26 days in 32 of 34 patients. The causes of peritonitis were perforating gastroduodenal ulcers (22 cases), acute perforating ulcers of the small intestine (5 cases), and acute phlegmonous perforative cholecystitis (7 cases).

Four stages in the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were distinguished. Special attention is paid to the time course of the third stage with repeated hypercoagulation, suppressed fibrinolysis, and microthrombolysis in organs and tissues leading to multiple organ failure.

Prolonged mixed type hypoxia and persistence of impaired tissue perfusion, shown by rheovasography, play an important role in the mechanisms of development of complications.
