title: [The external respiration function in patients with purulent-septic complications].
abstract: In 7 patients with postoperative purulent-septic complications the external respiration function (ERF) was studied. Preoperatively in them were observed significant changes of the ERF speed characteristics. The average volume speed in 25-75% interval (AVS 25-75) of the forced vital pulmonary capacity (FVPC) was lower than normal level by 43%, the extreme volume speed (EVS) of FVPC--by 49%, the moment volume speed in inspiration 50% of FVPC (EVS 50)--by 42%, EVS in expiration 75% of FVPC (MOS 75)--by 48%. This have witnessed the pronounced obstructive pulmonary changes, which influenced negatively the postoperative period course. Insignificantly expressed restrictive changes did not cause the purulent-septic complications occurrence.
