[Changes in the coagulation properties of tissues of the chest cavity and bronchial stump after the removal of a lung].
Experiments in dogs have shown that ablation of one lung is followed by increased coagulative activity and decreased fibrinolytic activity of tissues of the thoracic cavity, devoid of pleura which is responsible for better formation of coagulated hemo-and fibrinothorax. The balloon pleural obturator is shown to change coagulative properties of the tissues thus preventing blood coagulation and fibrin formation. Bringing of fibrin to the bronchus stump contributes to hermetization of the bronchus stump.
