[Prehospital care in traumatic shock].

Clinical investigations performed in 735 patients have shown that in addition to the improvement of organisation of the medical aid and the universally recognized resuscitation measures for trauma shock, the prophylactics and treatment of intoxication, metabolic, immune and other disorders developing in the patients soon after trauma should be started as early as at the prehospital step.

[The use of the "internal autotransfusion" method in complex shock-control measures at the prehospital stage].

Fifty-three patients with traumatic shock were injected 200-400 ml of a 10% solution of sodium chloride in combination with 100 ml of the 40% solution of glucose. The continuous, for 1-2 h, elevation of arterial pressure, increased minute blood circulation volume, cardiac index, stroke volume were noted. At the same time base deficiency in blood was growing.

[Treatment of acute pancreatitis patients with functional liver failure].

Methods of extracorporal detoxication hemo- and lymphosorption, intraportal injection of drugs and oxygenated solutions as well as ultraviolet irradiation of auto-blood are included in the routine scheme of treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis. The treatment concerned was used in 77 patients with acute pancreatitis and advanced hepatic insufficiency and resulted in arresting the latter in 43 of the patients. To prevent the development of acute hepatic insufficiency proved to be possible in 20 patients with a destructive form of acute pancreatitis.

[Use of thymalin and kontrikal in the treatment of patients with injuries of the abdominal organs].

The application of thymalin and kontrikal for the treatment of patients with injuries of the abdominal organs is believed by the authors to result in the recovery of the cell and humoral immunity, the decrease of fermentemia and reduced lethality from peritonitis.

[Diagnosis of peritonitis in abdominal injuries].

Peritonitis was found to develop in 250 (20,8%) out of 1200 patients with closed injuries of the abdominal organs and penetrating wounds of the abdominal cavity. The employment of different methods of prophylaxis and treatment of peritonitis at early terms permitted reducing its incidence 2-3 times.

[Treatment of peritonitis in abdominal injuries].

According to the author's data, peritonitis occurred in 250 (20.8%) out of 1200 cases of abdominal injuries, 69 of these 250 patients died (27.6%).
