[Continuous low volume infusion of hydroxyethyl starch as an option of water balance correction in patients with gestosis].

The method of long-term continuous low-volume infusion of hydroxyethyl starch (low-flow low volume correction HES) is administrated for correction of fluid balance disorders. The method is aimed to improve the outcomes in preeclamsia patients with multiple organ dysfunction and failure, as the most severe manifestation of system inflammatory response syndrome. After 4 days of the intensive care with application of the developed method in patients with preeclamsia the total body water level is decreased to the normal physiological level, the oedemas are significantly reduced or ceased, the haemodynamics stabilizes, which leads to the reduce of neurologic symptoms. The suggested method of low-flow low volume correction HES, in dose of 15 ml/kg/day is a significant addition to the existing methods of homeostasis and preeclampsia correction.

[Methodological aspects of determining the functional condition of the vegetative nervous systems in patients in medicine]. / Metodicheskie aspekty opredeleniia funktsional'nogo sostoianiia vegetativnoi nervnoi sistemy patsientov v meditsine.

Described in the paper is a combined method of estimating the functional condition of the autonomous nervous system, which makes it possible to assess the original condition, the level of functioning in response to the load and the results of the activity of the autonomous nervous system targeted at maintaining the homeostasis. The integrated estimation of a functional state of the autonomous nervous system in a clinic provides for obtaining the detailed information on the state of patients and can be applied in clinical practice to evaluate objectively the patients' condition.
