[Problems and advances in anesthesiology and intensive care in oncologic surgery]

Numerous problems are to be solved by anesthesiology and reanimatology in modern oncosurgery: to protect weak exhausted patients from severe and extremely severe surgical injury, to carry out rational infusion/transfusion therapy and intensive care in massive blood loss, perioperative organ and polyorgan failure, and sepsis. Combined analgesia is used in highly traumatic oncological operations: inhalation narcosis with fluorine drugs with epidural analgesia and anesthesia. Good results were obtained in the treatment of very grave patients. Mortality from highly traumatic operations with blood loss higher than 50% of total circulating blood decreased to 10%. Modern methods of intensive care, such as intraoperative reinfusion of autoerythrocytes, extracorporeal detoxication, immunocorrection for preventing and treating sepsis, etc., are widely used with good effect.
