[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the complex treatment of patients with aneurysms of the cerebral vessels].

Experience in the use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in 56 neurosurgical patients with cerebral vascular aneurysms, mainly in the postoperative period, testifies to the expediency of including this method in the complex of therapeutic measures for these patients. The deep oxygenation of the body tissues, the brain included, produced by HBO makes it possible to prevent in many cases the development of severe and stable neurological defects in the postoperative period and contributes to the normalizaion of vitally important functions. Th therapeutic efficacy of the method is more marked when it is applied sufficiently early (before poorly reparable secondary disorders occur in the organism).

[State of central hemodynamics in cerebral arterial aneurysms in the acute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage].

Central hemodynamics was studied by the method of dye (indigo carmine) dilution in 44 persons, 34 of whom had saccular aneurysms of the cerebral arteries in the acute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage and 10 formed the control group. Central hemodynamics changed depending on the condition of the patient. In a satisfactory and moderately severe condition, the cardiac output (minute circulation, volume, stroke volume cardiac index) was increased.
