[Registration of a diagnosis in complications of surgical treatment of diseases of the lungs and heart].
Autopsy findings (160 deceased patients) were assessed clinically and anatomically. Lethal outcomes occurred after surgical treatment of the lungs and heart. Postoperative complications in the absence of a pathological relation to the primary pathology or its adverse effects were considered in diagnosis documents as an equivalent of a nosological unit, i. e. iatrogenic "secondary" diseases. These conditions resulted either from adequate surgical interventions (78.1% of cases) or were attributed to technical and strategical errors (21.9% of cases). Unification of the complications associated with pulmonary and cardiac surgery implies use of the fundamentals of the "secondary" diseases theory and International Classification of Diseases (the 9th revision).
