[Effect of pulmonary ventilation capacity on the postoperative course in thoraco-pulmonary surgery].

The authors made a statistical investigation of the postoperative evolution in thoraco-pulmonary surgery and found diffuse hemorrhage, alterations in the evolution of wound healing, failures, higher death-rate and longer hospitalization, higher incidences being noted, inverse relationship with the pulmonary ventilation. These phenomena are attributed to the respiration disturbances, without patient clinical manifestations. The utility of the global spyrogram is acknowledged, when there are no other dysfunctions. The authors consider as lower limits of the spyrographic data, under which the surgical indications are fraught with too high a risk, values between 50 and 60% of the theoretical ones.

The stimulation of fibronectin synthesis by high peak power electromagnetic energy (Diapulse).

The effect of Diapulse therapy (pulsed electromagnetic energy of 27.12 MHz frequency) on post-operative wound healing and plasma fibronectin concentration is investigated. Patients treated with Diapulse, locally and over hepatic area present higher fibronectin levels starting 3d day after surgery. These higher values correlate well with a clear improvement of wound healing processes.

[Prevention of postsurgical thromboembolism with small doses of heparin].

The study includes 390 patients of different age, operated for various conditions during the last quarter of 1975, and systematically treated post operatively with heparin (the cases in which heparin was contraindicated were not included). None of the patients developed signs of thromboembolism after the operation. The drawbacks of the method are virtually inexistent as compared to the gravity of postoperative thrombolic complications. A further study included 1708 operated patients of whom 223 (13.0%) received the heparin treatment and 1485 (87.0%) did not. There was no thrombolic-embolic complication in the former lot and 12 cases (0.8%) in the latter. Three of 15 patients (20%) in whom the postoperative heparin treatment was interrupted immediately or very soon, developed thromboembolism. The method is efficient provided it is applied after the operation up to complete mobilization of the patient. The method is readily applicable, there is no risk and haemostasis is insured.
