The authors have tested various methods of analgesia and their clinical effect on the haemodynamics and respiration of patients with acute myocardial infarction. A hundred observations on 70 patients have been made. Haemodynamics was studied with a non-invasive method of integral rheography, and the respiratory function was evaluated by a combination of varying diagnostic rapid methods.

Examination by means of these methods during intensive therapy and resuscitation helps in individualizing the therapeutic measures. Various individual disorders of respiration were revealed during electroimpulse therapy in paroxysms of tachyarrhythmia, but the final effect of this treatment in restoration of the sinus rhythm had a beneficial influence on the dynamics of cardiogenic respiratory insufficiency.

This permitted to optimatize the employment of therapeutic neuroleptanalgesia in the acute period, to assess the efficacy of some new drugs, glukagon including to give recommendations as to the perfection of the organizational principles of intensive therapy.
