[Potentials of rheovasography in assessing circulatory disorders in the postoperative period in children].

Clinical investigations have shown possibilities of using rheovasography of the leg for the complex assessment of alterations of the peripheral blood circulation in children after surgical interventions. A direct relationship between the decreased stroke volume of the heart and the value of the systolic rheographic index on the leg has been established and great informative significance of leg rheography has been proved for the assessment of peripheral disorders as compared with other vascular zones (forearm, finger). The use of leg rheovasography is recommended for the assessment of peripheral blood circulation and choice of a correcting therapy.
