[Effect of intravascular laser therapy on the rheologic properties of blood in children with bilateral destructive pneumonia]. / Vliianie vnutrisosudistoi lazeroterapii na reologicheskie svoistva krovi u detei s dvustoronnei destruktivnoi pnevmoniei.

The effect of intravascular blood irradiation with helium-neon laser in 20 children with bilateral destructive pneumonia at a dose of 10-30 J/cm2 for a course of treatment on indices of hemostasis and rheologic blood properties was studied. Decrease in blood viscosity, hypocoagulative effect of intravascular laser therapy, normalization of clinico-roentgenologic data were revealed.

[Complex laser therapy of bacterial destruction of the lungs in children]. / Kompleksnaia lazeroterapiia bakterial'noi destruktsii legkikh u detei.

The complex laser therapy with the use of a helium-neon laser was employed in 115 patients with bacterial destruction of the lungs at the age of from 3 mos to 14 years. The indications for endothoracic, external and intravascular laser therapy and their combination are substantiated. The calculations of the optimal parameters of laser influence, depending on the stage of the disease and optical characteristics of the damaged lung surface, are presented.

[Conservative drainage of the pleural cavity in children]. / Shchadiashchee drenirovanie plevral'noi polosti u detei.

New kinds of polyvinylchloride drains of the given shape providing their parietal position in the pleural cavity are proposed. It gives more complete expansion of the lung and excludes pressure upon it. The proposed method of the introduction of the given drains into the pleural cavity is not very injurying and provides tight closing of the injury canal around the drain. Drains of various diameters are used according to age groups of the patients. The use of the drains described allows to considerably decrease the number of complications in drainage.
