[Analgesia in the acute period of myocardial infarct under hemodynamic and respiratory functional control].

The authors have tested various methods of analgesia and their clinical effect on the haemodynamics and respiration of patients with acute myocardial infarction. A hundred observations on 70 patients have been made. Haemodynamics was studied with a non-invasive method of integral rheography, and the respiratory function was evaluated by a combination of varying diagnostic rapid methods. With effective analgesia by different methods there was a decrease of oxygen utilization, minute ventilation of the lungs, of metabolic acidosis and of hyperfunction of the myocardium. The results justify the conclusion that timely analgesia is not a symptomatic method of treatment, but an important therapeutic measure of therapeutic measure as it ensures favourable action on haemodynamics and metabolism.
