In pulmonary operations, the correction of circulatory disorders is indicated both in cases when hemodynamic changes do not correspond to the increased energy, plastic and oxygen needs of the body (hypodynamic type of blood circulation), and in situations where the […]

The success of treatment of patients undergoing advanced combined resection of the lung in the postoperative period is generally determined by rational conduct of a complex of therapeutic measures of intensive therapy aimed at maintaining and correcting the resulting impairment […]

Local treatment and care of the thoracotomy wound is carried out according to the general rules adopted in surgery. Skin sutures, in the absence of complications and wound healing by primary intention, are removed on the 10th day. After removal of the […]
