title: [An index assessment of the degree of the respiratory failure in funnel chest].
abstract: An evaluation was done of respiratory failure in 149 children aged 3 to 15 presenting with funnel-shaped chest deformity (FCD). An original classification is suggested of degree of respiratory failure in FCD in children. Based on the index assessment of clinical and functional parameters an outline has been worked out for degree of respiratory failure. The criteria obtained are statistically significant; being able of giving quantitative assessment of degree of respiratory failure they can serve as control figures to be used in evaluations designed to study time course of changes in respiratory failure.
