[Experience with the use of Doppler ultrasonographic devices at the functional diagnosis department]. / Opyt ékspluatatsii priborov dlia ultrazvukovoi Doplerografii v otdelenii funktsionalnoi diagnostiki.

The paper discusses the results of 4-year use of Doppler ultrasonographic devices of the Angiodop-2 family at the functional diagnosis unit of a large-scale multidisciplinary hospital, considers the basic disadvantages revealed during their operation. A two-stage scheme for examination of angiological patients by using various technical aids for assessing the velocity of blood flow is presented.

[Evaluation of compensatory possibilities of the cardiovascular system in patients before reconstructive operations on the aorta and major arteries]. / Otsenka kompensatornykh vozmozhnostei serdechno-sosudistoi sistemy bol'nykh, podvergaiushchikhsia rekonstruktivnym operatsiiam na aorte i magistral'nykh arteriiakh.

To determine functional reserves of cardiovascular system, two procedures were comparatively studied in evaluation of central hemodynamics: tetrapolar chest rheography under isovolemic loading and rheopolyglucin test. Close correlation registered in results of the tests allowed the authors to employ subsequently the isovolemic test alone. The patients with circulatory subcompensation and decompensation received 7-14-day preoperative cardiostimulation.

[Non-invasive diagnosis of lesions of peripheral blood vessels in patients with diabetes mellitus]. / Neinvazivnaia diagnostika porazheniia perifericheskikh sosudov u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom.

Clinical examination of 51 diabetes mellitus patients with the disease running a severe, moderate and light course included ultrasound dopplerography to measure arterial and venous pressure on the malleolus and photoplethysmography to evaluate arterial pressure in the great toe. There appeared a relationship between the disease severity and venous pressure, toe pressure index, pressure gradient malleolus--toe. The closest correlation was with the venous pressure. At late stages of diabetic angiopathy calcinosis of the arterial wall distorts real value of malleolar systolic pressure necessitating multimodality investigation of peripheral vessels in diabetic patients.

[Disordered systemic hemodynamics in the acute period of craniocerebral trauma complicated by pneumonia]. / Narushenie sistemnoi gemodinamiki v ostrom periode cherepno-mozgovoi travmy, oslozhnennoi pnevmoniei.

Results are analyzed of a study of 67 patients with head injuries complicated by pneumonia. Indices of the central hemodynamics showed distinct differences in the group of patients with pneumonia in the acute period of head injury as compared with those showing uncomplicated course of head injury. Disorders of the systemic hemodynamics have a prognostic significance for the development of pneumonia in patients during the acute period of head injury. There was a distinct dependence of the degree of disorders of the systemic hemodynamics and severity of the patients' condition and normalization of cardiac function as clinical symptoms regressed and pneumonia was controlled.
