[The functional characteristics of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in respiratory failure in patients with disseminated fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis].

Resulting from complex preoperative clinico-functional examination of the 50 patients with generalized fibro-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis, it was established that inclusion of compensatory mechanisms of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems was due to the development of chronic failure. Direction, pronouncement and interrelation of the main parameters of external respiration, oxygen transport and hemodynamics are determined by a degree of hypoxia.
