[Prevention of postural reactions in patients with spinal cord lesions].

Changes in the cardiovascular system in 83 patients with spinal cord affections were studied before operation and during the anesthesia period. Disorders in the cardiovascular system up to cardiac arrest occur during operation in patients who have been, bed-ridden for more than 3--4 weeks. The authors suggest that training on a table-bed should be included into the complex of preoperative preparation of the patients; this prevents different coarse disorders and cardiac arrest during operation.
