ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY OF THE LUNGS IN THE PRACTICE OF THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST.

The Aim: To assess validity of EITL for mechanical ventilation optimization during GA.

Materials: 26 cardiac surgery patients participated in non-randomized comparative study. Everyone was ventilated with protective regimen: Vt - 6-8 ml/kg, breath rate - by normal EtCO2, i/e - 1.

[DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC BRONCHOSCOPY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CARDIAC SURGERY IN INTRA- AND POSTOPERATIVE PERIODS].

The article presents research conducted to evaluate the use of diagnostic and therapeutic fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and tracheobronchitis in patients in cardiac ICU. The paper presents the results of the study and comparison of invasive techniques for sampling from the respiratory tract for bacteriological analysis. We studied the bacterial profile of ICU, original content of the respiratory tract of cardiac patients in the intraoperative period and possible ways for prevention of VAP and tracheobronchitis in the postoperative period using bronchoscopy.
