[Effect of prolonged peridural anesthesia on the indices of external respiration, lung gas exchange and central hemodynamics after partial lung resections].

The use of prolonged peridural anesthesia in the operation area and the zone of drainage openings during the postoperative period of patients after partial lung resections allows to avoid many complications. The restricting changes of external ventilation were found to decrease and the ablity of the patients to expectorate the sputum contributes to the liquidation of obstructive changes in tracheobronchial pathways, promotes earlier expansion of lungs and early normalization of indices of pulmonary gas exchange and central hemodynamics.
