[Relations between several parameters of respiratory mechanics after radical correction of congenital heart defects].
The results of this study are at variance with highly prevalent opinion that an increase in Vinsp leads to a parallel growth of Cst. A different degree of relationship between Vinsp and Cst was observed in the studied groups (from 0.33 to 0.92). These relationships in children with congenital heart disease are determined by the state of pulmonary circulation and lung parenchyma before surgery and after correction and depend on the form of the defect and patient's age. Such a variety of values is due to specificity of changes in the lungs depending on the pathomorphology of congenital heart disease and progress of these changes with age.
