[Total-body rheography in surgical diseases of the chest organs].

The method of integral rheography of the body allows to make quantitative and qualitative assessments of the cardiac activity, blood circulation level, systemic arterial tone, the degree of strain of the ventilatory function, volume of the extracellular fluid and some other parameters characteristic of the patient's state as a whole on the basis of a one-channel registration. The method of integral rheography of the body may be taken as a basis for the development of effective systems of the operative medical control of the state of critical patients and those operated upon as well as systems of mass examinations of the population.

[Integral rheography of the body as a method of evaluation of the circulatory system in surgical diseases].

Surgical diseases are not infrequently responsible for severe operations when the choice between its endurability and poor effects of the conservative treatment speaks in the favour of surgery. The method of integral body rheography when allows the main hemodynamic indices to be reliably assessed as frequently as it is necessary and under any conditions, gives differentiated and quantitative characteristics of the degree and dynamics of heart failure and circulatory insufficiency. It makes the method valuable as an instrument of surgical control good for a wide clinical application.
