[Potentialities of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring in patients with acute destructive pancreatitis].

The potentialities of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring were estimated in 49 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis in the postoperative period. Cardiac performance monitoring according to the results of which the patients were divided into 2 groups was analyzed. The low cardiac output values persisting within 10-12 days following the first operation were indicative of the severity of destruction processes and the high risk of complications.

[Spirometric evaluation of external respiration function in laparoscopic and mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy].

Spirometric parameters are studied in 54 patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholecystectomy through a mini-laparotomy approach. The restrictive and obstructive disorders in the external respiratory function after minilaparotomy cholecystectomy are less expressed than after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Thorough examination of the external respiratory function is recommended when defining the indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

[Hypoxic changes in metabolism and effectiveness of therapy of surgical sepsis in children].

Examinations of 64 children with surgical sepsis, 12 of whom developed multiorgan insufficiency, showed that reduced oxygen transport and hypoxic changes of metabolism aggravate the endogenous intoxication. Hence, normalization of gas exchange and liquidation of oxygen debt by means of artificial ventilation of the lungs performed according to modern schemes becomes an important and obligatory component of intensive care for grave surgical sepsis.
