title: [The importance of the compensatory powers of the lungs in determining the indications for surgical treatment of hypoplasia of the lungs].
abstract: The author studied the compensatory possibilities of pulmonary respiration, gas exchange and hemodynamics of pulmonary circulation to determine the indications for operative treatment of simple hypoplasia of the lungs. The work is based on the results of examination of 58 patients. Forty-five patients underwent an operation. It was established that simple hypoplasia of the lungs is characterized by mild ventilation disorders and deep disorders of gas exchange leading to manifest and latent hypoxia in 94.6% of cases. Deficiently developed pulmonary-arterial channel, the presence of morphological foundations of pathological blood shunting (up to 24-32% of minute pulmonary circulation volume) were the causes of disturbed hemodynamics of pulmonary circulation and the development of pulmonary hypertension in 30.6% of cases. The indications and contraindications for surgical correction of simple hypoplasia of the lungs are discussed on the basis of study of the functional condition of ventilation, gas exchange, and hemodynamics of pulmonary circulation.
