[The heparin prophylaxis of gas exchange disorders in disseminated intravascular blood coagulation].

Altogether 35 patients operated on for gastric carcinoma were examined. In the postoperative period, a study was made of alterations in gas exchange function of the lungs parallel with the parameters of the hemostatic system. It has been established that in the early postoperative period, arterial hypoxemia was associated with the maximum tension of the functioning of the hemocoagulation system.

[The products of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis and their effect on pulmonary gas-exchange function].

The authors' and reported data have demonstrated the effect of hemocoagulation and fibrinolysis products on gas exchange pulmonary function in patients who suffered surgical intervention. The results of examining 20 patients with gastric carcinoma are provided. It has been established that even before operation the patients manifested the chronic pattern of the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) syndrome, whose intensity increased in the postoperative period.

[Functional reserves of blood circulation in aged patients].

Central hemodynamics (CH) were studied in 43 elderly (72.4 years) patients by means of the Swan-Ganz catheter. Analysis according to three main criteria--the clinical picture and the values of volume blood flow and jamming pressure in the pulmonary artery--disclosed several hemodynamic types.
