Concentrations of the ingredients have been analysed in a nonstandard cardioplegia solution (CS) and CS from St. Thomas Hospital at the outset before CS introduction into the coronary vessels of patients under cardioplegia. It has been shown that the use of nonstandard CS was accompanied by undesirable variability in ingredient concentration, which to some extent may be accounted for by the use of incompletely unfrozen CS. The use of CS from St. Thomas Hospital could be accompanied by moderate hypermagnesiumemia, which did not lead to the onset of vascular insufficiency. It is stressed that plasma magnesium content should be controlled when this CS is used.

[The Soviet colloid modegel as a component of a perfusion medium used in surgery with extracorporeal circulation].

The results of the application of a new Soviet colloid solution modegel in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in 50 patients have been analysed. The data obtained have been compared to those of control patients who were administered gelatinol instead of modegel. Modegel ensures optimal basic plasma electrolyte content, colloid-osmotic pressure and osmolality during perfusion.

[Activated coagulation time and the concentration of heparin in assessing the level of blood heparinization during operations using artificial blood circulation].

Blood heparinization was assessed, using two techniques (activated coagulation time--ACT and heparin concentration) in 31 patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. It has been shown that ACT-technique, not always revealing heparin concentration, may serve as a criterion for blood heparinization adequacy during cardiopulmonary bypass, as in every case it reflects individual changes in anticoagulant blood activity.
