title: [State of the hypophyseal-adrenal system during surgical correction of heart defects under various anesthesiological methods and at distant periods after surgery].
abstract: The concentration of 11-HOCS in the blood plasma was measured in 278 patients with heart diseases operated on under various anesthesias at different stages of surgical correction of the defects and in the immediate postoperative period. Plasma ACTH level was measured in 137 of these operated on under deep hypothermia and hypothermal perfusion. The hormonal response was the most expressed in patients operated on under normothermia, whereas in patients exposed to hypothermia the reaction was minimal. 141 patients were examined in remote periods after surgery. Blood plasma 11-HOCS level was normal in the cases with good and satisfactory results of surgical treatment, whereas in those with poor results it was higher or lower than normally.
