title: Blood gases, acid-base balance, and serum electrolytes following extensive maxillo-facial surgery.
abstract: Major maxillo-facial surgery causes arterial hypoxaemia, as well as a depletion of electrolytes serum protein during the postoperative period. Based on the investigations of 25 patients, a repertoire for the study of the postoperative course after major maxillo-facial operations has been offered, and a method for the avoidance of complications suggested.
