[The concentration of end products of purine metabolism as possible signs of tissue hypoxia in critically ill surgical patients].

The study was performed on 26 critically ill patients with hemorrhagic pancreonecrosis and disseminated suppurative peritonitis. Central hemodynamic and oxygen transport parameters have been determined in all the patients. To assess the degree of tissue hypoxia end products of ATP catabolism (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) have been studied.

[Correction of disorders of tissue perfusion in surgical patients in critical conditions and their evaluation by changes in the indices of the acid-soluble fractions of blood plasma].

Rheopolyglucin infusion and vasodilation therapy with droperidol have been performed in 16 critically ill surgical patients with low O2 tissue utilization with the aim in view to assess tissue perfusion disturbances and normalize peripheral blood flow. Basic central hemodynamic parameters and oxygen transport system parameters have been determined. Using gel filtration, acid-soluble blood plasma fractions have been studied spectrophotometrically.
