title: [The function of the external respiration in patients with cancer of the esophagus before and after surgery].
abstract: Respiration was tested in 66 patients with middle (15) and lower (51) esophageal cancer. In 32 patients damages in respiration biomechanics before surgery have been observed. In 26 patients respiratory failure was associated with concomitant diseases (pneumosclerosis, lung emphysema, cardiovascular diseases, etc.). 28 patients developed postoperative complications, in 22 of them lungs were affected (pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, pleuritis, pleural emphysema). Those complications were more frequently encountered in patients with signs of respiratory failure before surgery (72.7% of cases). It has been shown that with PEF less than 65%, FVC less than 85%, MEF 75% less than 65%, MEF50% less than 70%, MMF less than 70% and MVV less than 65% of due values, the likelihood of pulmonary complications in the postoperative period is enhanced.
