[Changes in the psychoemotional status during different stages of the treatment of patients with injuries]. / Nekotorye izmeneniia psikhoémotional'nogo statusa na raznykh étapakh lecheniia travmatologicheskikh bol'nykh.

To prevent the consequences of emotional stress caused by traumatic injuries the authors have evaluated the changes in the psychoemotional status of the patients with such injuries at various stages of treatment. To evaluate the psychical state a multifactor personality test (MMPT) has been used. A comparison of the personality parameters in the control group and in the patients before and after the operation has been made and reliable differences have been revealed. A conclusion has been made about the necessity of correction of the psychoemotional status both before and after the operation and methods of adequate correction of the elicited psychical deviations have been proposed.

[Effect of intravenous anesthesia using ketamine on respiratory and circulatory parameters]. / Vliianie vnutrivennogo narkoza s ispol'sovaniem ketamina na pokazateli vneshnego dykhaniia i krovoobrashcheniia.

Experimental studies in 40 dogs have established that a fractional mode of the intravenous administration of ketamine (3 mg/kg) results in the inhibited functions of respiration and blood circulation while the dropping method of the intravenous administration of ketamine (0,035 mg/kg/min) does not influence the functions of blood circulation and respiration. The dropping method of administration of ketamine (0,035 mg/kg/min), however, fails to maintain stable indices of blood circulation in the patients.
