[Use of Soviet computational complexes of the ASVT-M series in automated systems for monitoring critically ill patients]. / Primenenie otechestvennykh vychislitel'nykh kompleksov serii ASVT-M v avtomatizirovannykh sistemakh slezheniia za sostoianiem tiazhelobol'nykh.

The authors proved the efficiency and possibility of employing computers, series ACBT-M, in automated follow-up complexes intended for observation of grave patients. The system designed provides automatic and semi-automatic input, prolonged storage and processing of data being delivered simultaneously from 4 patients (32 parameters) during long-term observation, approximately for 4 months. Manual input of descrete information is unlimited. Parameters necessary for a doctor for decision-making in extreme cases are grounded well.

[Prevention of suppurative complications considering the risk of their occurrence]. / Profilaktika gnoinykh oslozhnenii s uchetom riska ikh vozniknoveniia.

The efficacy of a mark-grading system for the prognosis of the occurrence of suppuration in acquired and congenital heart diseases is analyzed in this work. The mathematical relationship between the sum of marks of the risk and the probability of the occurrence of purulent complication is proved. On the grounds of the found phenomenon a group of patients with high risk of purulent complications, needing some supplementary prophylactic procedures, has been selected. A complex of medicamental and organizational measures has been devised, which ensured more than 1.5-fold decrease of the incidence of surgical infection in high risk patients following operations with extracorporeal circulation.
