[Cardiac right ventricular function and hemodynamics during resection of the lungs]

Right-ventricular function and hemodynamics were studied in 48 patients during resections of the lungs (lobectomy and pneumonectomy) under total noninhalation anesthesia. Approaches to compensation of circulation in resection of different volume of lung tissue were determined. The leading role of the diastolic function of the right heart ventricle in realization of hemodynamic response in pneumonectomy is revealed. Volumetric monitoring of right-ventricular function during extensive lung resections is highly informative.
