[Effect of the type of anesthesia and the parameters of single-lung ventilation on the extent of venous shunt in lung surgery].

As a result of the studies, carried out upon 30 patients following lung operations, it has been found that an optimal hyperventilation of a single lung with an increased oxygen level in the respiratory mixture prevents the occurrence of hypoxemia and hypercapnia.

[Respiratory function during peridural analgesia].

By means of spirography the ventilatory function was studied under conditions of peridural analgesia in 73 patients with suppurative and neoplastic diseases of the lung pre- and postoperatively, as well as in closed chest injuries. In 6 patients being in asthmatic state the effect of peridural analgesia is estimated clinically.
