[Role of S. S. Iudin in the development of emergency anesthesiology at the Moscow Sklifosovskiĭ Research Institute of Emergency Care].
S. S. Yudin was concerned about the problems of anesthesia from as early as the twenties. Under the term "anesthesia" he combined a whole complex of measures including preoperative management, the production of insensibility to pain, and intraoperative treatment and supported in this manner the creation of anesthesiological care, which was organized at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care in 1959. The object of all practical and scientific activity of the care was the creation of simple, popular, and effective variants of anesthesia with consideration for the variety of pathophysiological responses. The principal responses are shock, hypovolemia, insufficiency of respiration and gas exchange, inversion of metabolism, intoxication, intracranial hypertension, the compression-dislocation syndrome, and hepatorenal failure. Study of the effect of anesthetics on various organs and systems of the organism made it possible to determine the tactics and methods of anaesthesia for patients with trauma and diseases of the abdominal and thoracic organs, central nervous system, and locomotor apparatus.
